Summer Festivals Return To Chattanooga Wednesday, April 21, 2021
Chattanooga Oktoberfest is set for Oct. 9-10
Returning this summer are many of Chattanooga’s most popular festivals. “Our community is actively preparing (and vaccinating) for the return of public gatherings, and awaiting the return of social experiences which are so important to our mental well-being,” said Chris Thomas, executive director of Public Markets. “While our Spring season is conservative and limited in scope, our Summer and Fall plans do follow the national projections and we anticipate a broader return to normalcy and larger festivals and events.”
The first festival to take place in the First Horizon Pavilion is the inaugural Chattanooga Beer Fest on Saturday, May 29, from 12-3 p.m. The event is presented by Deschutes Brewery, one of the original craft beer producers just now being introduced to the Chattanooga area.
