The Chattanooga Market will be ready for families this Sunday. It’s a Dad’s Day tradition…cold, local brews and live music too. While the temps heat up, there’s something special about an iced cold beverage while listening to blues music.
This Sunday boasts Jess Goggans and then, Rick Rushing live on the Lodge Cast Iron Sizzle Stage. And, it’s peak produce season with peaches, tomatoes, berries, okra, onions, radishes and so many other veggies.
The Market makes it easy to shop for a Sunday night Father’s Day meal with fresh cuts of meat (Meyers Beef Farm, Cove Creek Farm), two seafood vendors (Chattanooga Seafood, Reel ‘Em In) and breads/cheeses. If BBQ is his “thing”, there are several sauce makers to deliver just the right amount of sweet or spicy.
The food trucks continue to come by the dozens, Dad will enjoy eating a nice big, juicy burger (Johnny Poppers), tacos (I Love Tacos), BBQ (Dad’s BBQ), with several other choices while visiting Chattanooga Market.
