On Saturday, May 3, the Chattanooga Green will transform into a hub of local creativity for the return of the We Make festival.

The free, family-friendly event is hosted by Art 120, a local nonprofit focused on promoting STE(A)M education through awareness, reaching, and teaching.

The organization helps local students showcase their work for the festival (think: visual art exhibits, hands-on activities, performances + international cuisine tastings) for a chance to win cash prizes.

Artists and car enthusiasts can gear up for the return of art cars, where folks come together to bring their decorated vehicles to the event. Psst: There’s still time to register your vehicle online.

Art 120 also partners with other local organizations to bring the International Market & More series to the festival. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., you’ll be able to taste food from around the world and shop from local vendors. Folks interested in reserving a booth for the market can fill out a registration form.
