Have not heard anything about it. Would love to do it again.

We need to coordinate with the city, but yes we're planning on having another parade and I hope we'll be able to announce details soon. Everyone seemed to enjoy last year's parade, it was a lot of fun.

Stay tuned!

I think that Chattanooga is expecting a parade. We will do everything possible to make it happen. Would like to hear any ideas on how to make this year as good as last years.

You should get the word out to other local clubs this year. I told some people from Alabama at the last minute last year when I found out no one contacted the other clubs... but at that point it was too late for them to plan to come. I know they try to include you in their events, so returning the gesture would be nice.  There are a lot of people in Atlanta too that might come... if you are going to do it soon though you should post it so people can plan...

Last year we only got the green light on the parade a couple of weeks before hand, and we worked as hard as we could to get the word out on short notice.

Unfortunately it looks like a parade isn't happening this year though. We will have some Oktoberfest announcements to make soon.

Looks like there's not going to be a parade this year. I have talked to a member of City Council, and he was disappointed that we could not get a permit. He stated he liked the parade and would miss it. But on friday the 23, at Village VW, there will be a mini October Fest from 4:00 to 8:00pm. They would like as many V Dubs as we can bring. Lots of brats and drinks for free. Hope you can make it.

Well that sucks. What happened? Couldn't we all just plan to meet and form our own parade and just make a lap around Chattanooga?

We are all pretty bummed about not getting a parade this year. But to make up for it, we are planning a huge VW cruise-in on Sunday at the Chattanooga Market. Carter St in front of the Pavilion will be blocked off, so there should be plenty of space. We're inviting all local VW clubs to join us. Plus there's plenty to do and see and eat at the Chattanooga Market.

Sunday the 11th? Cool I'll try my best to be there.

Will it be possible to join the Volks Folks then?
