A special treat—the Chattanooga Symphony and Opera brings a few of their ensemble groups for a special Chattanooga Market (free) performance. And don’t miss added performances by local schools working with the CSO.

Come to the Chattanooga Market for a special Mother’s Day celebration wrapped up just for you! Pamper the special lady in your life with a selection of wines and champagnes along with an assortment of locally made treats as she enjoys live music. Grab some spring flowers, fresh ingredients for a meal tonight, a piece of local art, and voila – you’ve just made it the best Mother’s Day ever!

It’s prime time for STRAWBERRIES at the Chattanooga Market! Local really is better and you’ll taste the difference. Strawberry salsa, strawberry cake, chocolate-dipped strawberries, strawberry jelly, strawberry lemonade, even strawberry candles – you get the idea! Our strawberries are hand-picked early Sunday morning so they’re ripe and red all the way through (no white centers here).

Join the naturalists and educators from Reflection Riding Arboretum & Nature Center to learn more about the wildlife and plants in your own back yard! Meet their Animal Ambassadors: opossums, birds of prey and other species with permanent injuries that can’t be released back into the wild while visiting with their Forest Kindergarten and Forest School teachers to learn about the natural world. Hands-on activities for children of all ages!

Reflection Riding Arboretum & Nature Center is an environmental learning hub that reconnects Chattanoogans with nature. Filling an important need for outdoor experience in our technology-driven world, the Center envisions a healthier, more creative city whose residents become stewards of their natural surroundings.

It’s an American tradition…summertime Bar-B-Que, cold beer and live music. And it’s all happening at Chattanooga Market where several local pit-masters will be competing at our 11th Annual Beast Feast® BBQ Contest.

Whether it’s slathered or rubbed & doused in slopping sauce; spicy or mild; chicken, pork or beef; there’s a flavor for everyone. People’s Choice and Judge’s Favorite will determine which local BBQ expert takes home bragging rights.

Each pit-master will offer $1 BBQ bites for sale all day long or market-goers can purchase a full plate of their favorite for an additional charge. It’s a great way to sample the best of Chattanooga’s BBQ while enjoying shopping and entertainment at the Chattanooga Market.

A summer tradition, we’re scooping up some of Chattanooga’s best ice cream around. Ice cream lovers won’t want to miss this cool event (totally revamped)—there’s no better way to beat the heat on a summer day!

We’ve got you covered for Father’s Day at the Chattanooga Market. Let Dad relax and enjoy some local blues music and sample some local craft brews to boot. The whole family will enjoy lunch from one of our eateries or food trucks (did someone say bacon cheeseburger?!?) We’ll have fresh cuts of meat, farm cheeses, produce…all the makings for a home cooked dinner. Don’t forget a unique gift for dad too from one of our local artists!

Celebrating the 4th of July a bit early, blueberries are the firecracker of the day…enjoy blueberries in just about everything at Chattanooga Market.

Patrons can enter in one of our blueberry pie-eating contests (noon & 1pm), featuring fresh baked pies from Simply Southern Bakery prepared with local blueberries. Win a pie to take home! Sign up at the Market Information Desk on Sunday a 1/2 hr before each contest.

It’s a little messy, but a lot of fun!
