Check out the Chattanooga Market
Consistently ranked as one of the best in the nation – including a top 10 nod from Frommer’s – this weekly farmers market is the real deal featuring producer-only products. That’s a fancy way of saying the person smiling behind the booth either helped make or grow what they’re selling, whether it’s a hand-blown glass bead necklace or a bushel of tomatoes picked that morning (usually within a 100 mile radius). The Chattanooga Market is open from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. each Sunday and is a great place to enjoy live music as you stroll through the First Tennessee Pavilion.

Riverboat Tours
Celebrate summer’s opening weekend properly by hitting the water. The easiest way to explore Tennessee’s Grand Canyon is to hop aboard a riverboat. Several companies offer trips leaving from downtown docks. Climb aboard the Southern Belle to experience the luxury of 1800s-era riverboats. BYOB and tour the river via Chattanooga Cycleboats pedal-power on the Tennessee River. To explore both downtown and the river, take a ride on the Chattanooga Ducks, a renovated WWII landing craft used in the D-Day invasion.

The Riverfront
What Memorial Day weekend would be complete without a picnic in the park or a football game of two-hand touch? Coolidge Park is where the locals go to hang out or throw a Frisbee. The fountains are perfect for cooling off on a hot summer day. Just across the river, play in the cascading waterfalls at The Passage near the Tennessee Aquarium.
