Chattanooga River Games 2026

The Chattanooga River Games returns as the South's largest extreme sports and music festival, taking over the Tennessee River and surrounding areas for a full weekend of competition and entertainment.

Watch professional athletes compete in wakesurfing, freestyle diving, rock climbing, and slacklining, all set against the backdrop of the Tennessee River. Live music runs both days with local and regional acts, plus food trucks, craft beer, and a vendor village.

Spectator entry is free. Competitor registration available online. The event draws thousands of spectators to the riverfront and is one of Chattanooga's signature summer events.
