JFest 2026
JFest is a big deal in Chattanooga. The festival takes over Tennessee Riverpark for a full day of live music from top Christian and contemporary artists, plus a massive vendor village, food trucks, kids' activities, and a fireworks finale.
This is a free event, which makes it one of the best values of the spring. Families spread out blankets along the riverfront, kids run around the activity zones, and the music goes from late morning until the fireworks wrap things up after dark.
Parking fills up fast - consider carpooling or using the shuttle from nearby lots. The event runs rain or shine, so check the forecast and plan accordingly.
