The Chattanooga River Market will return during the weekends of March 9-10, 16-17 and 23-24 at the Tennessee Aquarium Plaza.

The sprawl of local artists, crafters and food artisans will be open to the public Saturdays 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sundays 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

Visitors to the Market will find an assortment of arts and crafts including woodworking, jewelry, soaps, candles, handmade apparel, pet items, CBD products, artisan foods and more.

Each market day will feature a local food truck and live music.

The River Market will return to its normal Saturday-only hours of operation (10 a.m.-5 p.m.) March 30.

Beginning May 4, Saturday mornings will start off with free BYOM (bring your own mat) yoga at 10 a.m. under the River Journey Pavilion.

For local vendors, the Chattanooga River Market is a time to reconnect with patrons and friends.

“We connect with potential customers from all over the world at the River Market in Chattanooga,” says David Willis of Moccasin Bend Soap Company. “It’s a great opportunity to expand our online customer base and enjoy a Saturday by the Tennessee Aquarium.”

The Chattanooga Market – the larger farmers and artists market under the same organization – will open the weekend of April 27 and 28 at the First Horizon Pavilion.
