We’re working on an amazing line up of fall events for you!

Not-to-Miss Festivals at Chattanooga Market

This Labor Day Weekend, the Fall Food Truck Rally will take place Sunday, September 4th. We’ll be featuring dozens of local and regional food trucks that will be parked right on Reggie White Boulevard—it’s the largest gathering of food trucks in Chattanooga. Known for “around the world” flavors, this event features everything from pizza, burgers and tacos to offerings from spain, india, and asia. And desserts will be getting some well-deserved attention. Fans can expect local ice cream, cupcakes and cake cups, gelato, local popsicles and funnel cakes… A full list of participating food trucks can be found on ChattanoogaMarket.com.

The Apple Festival returns to Chattanooga Market on Sunday, September 18th. Patrons will find fresh-picked apples from several orchards (don’t miss the fried apple pies) and other apple foods such as apple butter, caramel apples, apple salsas and even home goods including apple candles, scented lotions and other unique fall finds. The nearly 200 Market vendors enjoy creating fall-themed artisan foods and handmade arts & crafts just for this special day.

October festivals – featuring Chattanooga Oktoberfest®

For over 20 years now, Chattanooga Oktoberfest® remains the area’s best, family-friendly, festival with a uniquely Chattanoogan spin on the famous German celebration. All weekend long, Saturday, October 8th and Sunday, October 9th, festival goers come in their German dirndls and lederhosen to chicken dance with The Wurstbrats, drink seasonal beers and participate in fun games and activities like the Mr. and Ms. Chattanooga Oktoberfest Contest. This annual festival is free to attend.

And back for 2022, Scenic City Wings will be held on Sunday, October 23rd. This event promises to be a little spicy, a little messy, but a whole lot of fun. Patrons can sample the unique tastes of Chattanooga’s best wings from area restaurants in this blazing annual competition and cast their vote for the Scenic City’s Best Wings of 2022.

Each ticket purchased provides two sample wings from each of the restauranteurs (usually six), and the ability to cast a vote. There will be two winners – popular vote and judge’s choice. And it’s all for a good cause, all ticket sales will directly benefit the Chattanooga Area Food Bank. Tickets are required for wing sampling and are purchased the day of the event at the entrance of Chattanooga Market.
