Riverbend Beach

Tennessee Valley Federal Credit Union is teaming up with Riverbend, WDEF News 12, and The Doubletree Hotel to present Riverbend Beach, the festival’s newest attraction.

Located right on Riverfront Parkway at the Walnut Street Bridge, Riverbend Beach will feature a 150-ton sand sculpture created by Team Sandtastic of Sarasota, Florida during the first six days of the festival. The sculpture will be a creative representation of the sights and sounds of Riverbend.

Fun facts from Riverbend Beach:

• The sand sculpture is created from 150 TONS of sand donated by Monteagle Sand and Gravel. After Riverbend the sand will be donated to the City of Chickamauga for the community’s recreational ball fields.
• Students at Chattanooga School for the Creative Arts painted the table tops at the Tennessee Valley Credit Union Stage. The tables will be auctioned off in the fall and all proceeds will go towards funding for their art department.
