Chattanooga’s packed calendar of arts, sports, and youth events
Chattanooga Weekends Come Alive
From spring into summer 2026, Chattanooga and nearby Cleveland are buzzing with festivals, performances, and community happenings—everything from River Games on the Tennessee River and Chattanooga FC’s season kickoff to the Sip TN Wine Festival and the world premiere “Bluegrass Ballet.” Local arts and culture take center stage with Tennessee Songwriters Week, theater productions, sculpture exhibits, history programs, and creative workshops like pet-portrait painting and UTC Photo Night. Youth-focused initiatives such as the TNSTRONG Youth Summit, Operation Get Active, Southside Youth Development baseball, and International Women’s Week events highlight health, equity, and leadership. Together, these events showcase a region investing in community connection, creativity, and active lifestyles.
