🎸 Live Music & Car Show Weekend Comes to New York Pizza Department in Lakesite

The Chattanooga metro area’s food and entertainment scene is heating up this week as New York Pizza Department in Lakesite hosts a packed weekend of live bluegrass performances and community events tied to Blue Grass Week celebrations across the region.

🎵 Friday Night Lineup

New York Pizza Department will kick off the festivities Friday evening with performances by Joey Winslett and Marty Sumner from 5 to 7 p.m., followed by special guest performances. The restaurant’s open-air setting and casual dining atmosphere make it an ideal gathering spot for live music fans looking to enjoy authentic New York-style pizza while taking in the bluegrass sounds.

🚗 Saturday’s Rod Run & Evening Show

Saturday brings a full day of activity. The Soddy Daisy Rod Run car show will take over the parking lot from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., drawing classic car enthusiasts from across the valley and metro area. That evening, Jon Kinsey takes the stage from 7 to 10 p.m., continuing the musical celebration into the night.

✨ Why This Matters

Events like these strengthen the fabric of local community life by creating spaces where neighbors gather around shared interests-whether that’s live music, classic automobiles, or simply good food and company. For residents in the Sequatchie Valley and nearby Hamilton County communities, venues that host regular entertainment help keep cultural traditions alive while supporting local businesses.

New York Pizza Department‘s willingness to host multiple events across a single weekend demonstrates how restaurants can become more than just dining destinations; they become community gathering places that anchor local social life and celebrate regional heritage.
