The Chattanooga River Market will return Saturday, March 11, to the Tennessee Aquarium Plaza.

For over a decade, the Chattanooga River Market has been a source of shopping and entertainment for tourists and locals alike.

The market will be open Saturdays 10 a.m.–5 p.m. and Sundays 10 a.m.–4 p.m. in March and the first weekend in April along the Tennessee Aquarium Plaza.

Visitors will find woodworking, jewelry, soaps, candles, handmade apparel, pet items, CBD products, artisan foods and more.

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

On April 7, the River Market will return to its normal Saturday-only hours of operation. Beginning May 1, Saturday mornings will begin with free yoga at 10 a.m. under the River Journey Pavilion. The sessions will be BYOM – bring your own mat.

Farm owner, maker and local entrepreneur Wendy Smith of Sowing Seeds Nursery says, “We can’t wait to be back out in the markets. It’s truly a fun place to be throughout the entire market season. We love meeting new customers and seeing our returning customers and friends.”

The Chattanooga Market – the larger farmers and artists market under the same organization – will open the weekend of April 29 and 30 at the First Horizon Pavilion. More at ChattanoogaMarket.com.
