Chattanooga Taco Fest 2026

Chattanooga Taco Fest takes over the Southside with everything taco-related you can imagine. Dozens of vendors - from established restaurants to pop-up kitchens - line the streets offering creative tacos that go way beyond the basics. Think smoked brisket tacos, Korean BBQ tacos, birria tacos, and more.

Beyond the food, there's a margarita garden, live Latin music throughout the afternoon, and a crowd-judged salsa competition that always gets heated (pun intended). It's one of the most fun food events of the spring and tends to sell out, so grab your tickets early.
