Nightfall: Tonight at Nightfall, catch JJ Grey & Mofro, with openers Blues Hammer.

Lookouts and Fireworks: The Chattanooga Lookouts are at home tonight, with a 6:15 p.m. game against the Carolina Mudcats, with—naturally—fireworks following the game.

Star Trek at IMAX: We may have missed out on The Dark Knight, but IMAX is coming through for sci-fi fans, showing JJ Abrams’ Star Trek all this month. Showtimes for Star Trek are 7:00 p.m. and 9:20 p.m. Friday – Saturday, and 7:00 p.m. Sunday – Thursday nights.

New Binkley Brothers at Rock City: The Southern Music Weekends series continues at Rock City on Saturday and Sunday with music throughout the day by the New Binkley Brothers.

Chattanooga FC: Will their Facebook Challenge bring in 5,000 fans for their season-ending game at Finley? Either way, the games are exciting, the crowd is enthusiastic, and the beer is cold. And this Saturday night, they’re offering $1 shuttle rides to the riverfront so fans can catch fireworks after the game.

Pops on the River: Chattanooga’s biggest fourth of July celebration, Pops on the River needs no introduction. The Chattanooga Symphony and Opera is back, along with Dismembered Tennesseans and Tim and Sara King, to present a patriotic concert in Coolidge Park, followed by a fireworks display.

Ice Cream Social: Beat the heat Sunday afternoon at the Chattanooga Market’s Ice Cream Social featuring tasty treats from hometown favorite Clumpie’s as well as Bi-Lo, Bruster’s and Mayfield. A $5 ticket gets you a sampling of each ice cream and supports the Chattanooga Chambliss Shelter.
