Chattanooga Market - Summer Sundays

The Chattanooga Market is the heart of the city's local food and artisan scene. Every Sunday from late April through November, the market fills up with farm-fresh produce, meat and cheese from local farms, baked goods, handmade crafts, hot food vendors, and live music.

This isn't some tiny farmers market with three tents. The Chattanooga Market is massive - dozens of vendors, a live music stage, a kids' activity area, and enough food options to make lunch a serious decision. The local food artisans alone are worth the trip - hot sauces, jams, fresh pasta, tamales, baked goods.

The market runs 11 AM to 4 PM. Arrive early for the best produce selection, or come later for a more relaxed browsing experience. Bring cash for some vendors, though most accept cards now.
