Love is in the air. Can you feel it? No, I’m not writing a Phil Collins song … I’m actually talking about February in Chattanooga. 💘
We’ve been hard at work putting together the monthly #PlanAhead guide and there are just too many great events happening in Chattanooga in February that we’re excited about.
Of course, Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14 *hint, hint*) is the epicenter of the month, but there’s also a Harry Potter tattoo convention (not kidding), the city’s biggest multi-fandom gathering + a visit from one of the funniest (and most controversial) musicals. February is also Black History Month and National Library Lover’s Month.
Oh, and it all starts this weekend with a little groundhog and his shadow + a sportsball game called the Super Bowl. Have you heard of it?
Here are 5 #MustDo events for February:
