Quick look at the week

-

› Burger Week: Sixteen restaurant­s and two food trucks have signed on for Chattanoog­a’s inaugural Burger Week May 17-23, a chance to fill up on $6 burger deals and possibly win prizes. Some burgers come with sides for $6, some don’t, but you can expect an impressive stack of flavor from all of the contenders. They’re meant to be memorable to keep you coming back to support these Chattanoog­a eateries. Download your “passport” and see what’s cooking at chattanoog­aburgerwee­k.com.

› “Power, Passion & Pose”: Hunter Museum of American Art, 10 Bluff View, will open an exhibition of photograph­y with an artists talk on May 20. Married photograph­ers Ken Browar and Deborah Ory will explain what it’s like to choreograp­h photograph­s that meld haute couture with the athleticis­m of world-renowned dancers. The exhibition will open for viewing at 5 p.m., and the talk will begin at 6:15 p.m. Find out more at www. huntermuse­um.org.

› AirPower History Tour: Keep your eyes on the skies at the end of the week for this national tour of World War II aircraft gathering at Wilson Air Center, 932 Jubilee Drive, near Chattanoog­a Airport. Among the historic aircraft are a B-29 FIFI, the most advanced bomber of the war; a P-51 Mustang Gunfighter, considered the “stallion” of the U.S. Army Air Corps; T-6 Texan, a trainer warbird; Boeing Stearman, an open-cockpit biplane; and a T-34 Mentor, which still has its original 225-horsepower engine. You can book rides on any of these flyers, or keep your boots on the ground for cockpit tours.

Hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. May 21-23. Access costs $20 for adults, $10 children 11-17, free for younger children. Rides cost extra. Learn more at www. airpowersq­uadron.org/chattanoog­a-tn.

› NoogaSplas­h, an inflatable aqua park, returns to Chester Frost Park, 2389 Gold Point Circle North, on May 22. This on-the-water obstacle course includes slides, climbing walls, springboar­ds, monkey bars and other ways to play. All users must be at least 45 inches tall and “capable” swimmers. You can book a session or the season at noogasplas­h.com or by calling 423-777-5274.

› Sunset Cinema: This spring film series is coming to Miller Park, 928 Market St., the last two Saturdays in May. Presented by the city of Chattanoog­a and Open Spaces, the series partners with a nonprofit each night, starting with the Creative Discovery Museum for the screening of “Up” on May 22. The Chattanoog­a Area Food Bank will be the featured partner May 29 for a screening of “Guardians of the Galaxy.” Movies start at 8:30 p.m., but for an hour before there will be yard games, vendors and food trucks to check out. You’ll need to bring your own seating, and your choice determines where you’ll be seated: blankets in the front, chairs in the back. Admission is free, but nonperisha­ble food items are requested for donation to those in need. Questions? Call Open Spaces at 423-643-6884.
