I have supported the Chattanooga Market for years. Nick Jessen was instrumental in getting loyal vendors and patrons alike to support this wonderful open air market full of local produce, other foods and of course, artwork and crafts. The music enhances everything and it is a place to sit back and relax, shop, and visit with friends. Thanks, too, to the new owners who have made the market even better. I miss the Sundays when the market isn't operating in the winter and count the days until its return!

This is my second year as a vendor at the much beloved Chattanooga Market. It's quite unlike any market I've ever seen with its diverse array of vendors. There are excellent and tasty food vendors as well as eclectic and traditional art, many crafts and other goods not to mention the produce. I hate to miss - I've formed great friendships among other vendors and look forward to going every Sunday. Please support us with your attendance and purchases!
We owe our success to you, our patrons, and to Paul Smith and Chris Thomas. Thanks, guys!!

I believe in the 3/50 rule that Market supports. It works like this, the next $50 you have to spend, spend it in a locally owned business and you will help save 3 local jobs. Market is very customer and vendor friendly and you an support the local job market as well.

The Market has given families a great place to gather , enjoy the day and reconnet. It has given artist and farmers a place to showcase and sell their products to people that value good old fashioned hard work and pride in their work.So don't just sit there come join us on Sunday .

The Chattanooga Market is part of what makes Sundays my favorite days. You can sleep in, then hit the market and grab your paper, a coffee and look at the local art while you wake up. By early afternoon you can pick out a variety of sweet-smelling local veggies to last you all week, perhaps some grass-fed lamb, a blueberry bush or peach tree to plant in the backyard, catch some local music, and maybe participate in a cook-off. Meanwhile, you run into neighbors and coworkers, your kids are happily climbing a rock wall, and the kettle corn is piping hot - again! What does this market NOT have to offer?!?

The Chattanooga Market has experienced a huge renaissance since it changed ownership last year. Since then, there has been a huge outpouring of local support for all of our local artisans and growers. The Market has even started a community supported agriculture program that takes advantage of all the local growers who sell at the Chattanooga Market. With over 100 vendor each week and thousands of visitors, the Market continues to be a benefit to our community.
