You can learn a lot about a city by visiting the same places that the locals frequent. In Chattanooga, that place is the Public Market, widely considered to be a community hub. Public farmers markets have also increasingly become a popular as tourist attraction, which of course is no different in Chattanooga.  Chattanooga’s local farmers markets are wonderful places to experience live music and entertainment, great food, and the farm grown produce that is central to Chattanooga’s delicious cuisine. There are weekly events happening at the Chattanooga Public Market throughout the summer, and it is certainly worthy of a visit the next time you’re in town. But the main Chattanooga Public Market on Sunday isn’t the only market worth visiting in Chattanooga. The Chattanooga River Market is the perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon in Chattanooga.  Book your room at our Chattanooga Bed and Breakfast today, and discover the pulse of Chattanooga at our markets.

Saturday Chattanooga River Market

The Chattanooga River Market takes place at the Tennessee Aquarium Plaza every Saturday. It is the pefect place to browse for local art and crafts, while enjoying a refreshing variety of live music and delicious food. While the Chattanooga Public Market is more geared towards farmers and produce, the River Market is considered an artists market. Included in the market stands here are a wide selection of jewelry, photography, apparel, woodworks, and much more. And, much like Chattanooga’s larger Sunday market, the River Market features a variety of entertainment options and special events. Here are a few highlights coming up at the River Market this summer:

• The Pea Pickin’ Hearts
• Julie Gribble
• Martin Rodriguez
• Jeff Miller
• Drakeford
• David Elliot

They also offer weekly free yoga classes at the market at 10am.  You just have to bring your own mat.

When you’re done browsing through the Chattanooga River Market, continue on through downtown Chattanooga and explore the many great shops, art galleries, restaurants, and attractions this great city has to offer.
