Walnut Street Bridge Festival

The Walnut Street Bridge is already one of the most photographed spots in Chattanooga. During the bridge festival, it becomes even more alive with music, artisan vendors, food booths, and activities stretching across the bridge and into Coolidge Park on the North Shore side.

It's a great excuse to walk the bridge if you haven't, and a fun community gathering if you walk it every day. The festival typically runs from late morning through the afternoon, making it easy to combine with brunch on either side of the river.

Parking can be tricky - consider parking on the North Shore at Coolidge Park and walking across, or use the free electric shuttles if they're running.
