Happening in Chattanooga this Spring & Summer

Gathering together is what Chattanoogans do! We dance to local music, cheer on our favorite triathletes, and pick up fresh produce straight from the farmer. Chattanooga’s annual events are unforgettable shared experiences filled with our city’s culture and heart.
