Normal-Palooza brought art and music fans to the streets of North Chattanooga Saturday. It's the sixth year for the annual family-friendly street festival at the Normal Park Upper School.

Proceeds from the fundraiser all go exclusively to the Normal Park Museum Magnet School. All of the workers at today's event are volunteers, and parents of students at the school.

Barbara Ensign and Lauren Hunt are the Co-Chairs of Normal-Palooza. They explain together why the event is such a hit. "It's huge to give back and it's great to celebrate everybody who helped make this the kind of school that we are, and just to have a great festival. People are having fun and connecting and it's giving us a chance to see our friends and the partners of the school and the community," they added Saturday.

Last year's Normal-Palooza was visited by 2,000 people and organizers say each year it gets bigger.
