The Chattanooga Market is the city’s gathering place during the spring, summer + fall. This weekend marks the return of the market to the First Tennessee Pavilion (1826 Reggie White Blvd.) for the annual opening weekend celebration — two full days of market activities. 🥕
Each weekend, locals visit the market for produce, meats, cheeses, breads, specialty prepared foods + arts & crafts vendors, food trucks, fresh-cut flowers and, of course, live music. Opening weekend is typically one of the busiest weekends of the year.
The market is open on Saturday from 10 a.m to 5 p.m and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is always free.
Of course, opening weekend is just the beginning of a full schedule of festivities at the market. Each weekend, the schedule offers a different theme depending on what produce is in season.
