Fall Experiences

Celebrations Paint the Town Fall Festival Red!

It's not just the leaves that are so colorful during the fall - it’s our fall festivals and events, too! Fall in Chattanooga is packed with a variety of fun and vibrant events filled with incredible wonder and discovery - like 3 Sisters Bluegrass Festival, the Enchanted Pumpkin Patch at Rock City, and the Head of the Hooch Regatta. 

In addition to our fall festivals and events, there’s always plenty of live music and entertainment to find. Catch a show at the Barking Legs Theater, The Signal, or Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Auditorium, or laugh your way through Chattanooga’s comedy scene.
