Red, White and Blueberries festival comes to Chattanooga Market
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — On Sunday, July 5th, the annual Red, White, and Blueberries festival will be at the Chattanooga Market.
Visitors can expect an abundance of freshly picked local blueberries alongside a massive lineup of infused treats and crafts, including: Freshly baked blueberry pies and blueberry shaved ice, refreshing blueberry lemonade, blueberry salsa, unique blueberry-themed artisan crafts and fine art, and more.
The Market’s messiest tradition returns with the Blueberry Pie Eating Contests. It’s a timed, strictly “no hands allowed” showdown for both kids and adults. The battle-ready pies are being freshly baked by beloved local vendor Federal Bake Shop.
- How to Enter: Sign up at the information desk near the main entrance. Space is limited!
- Contest Times: 12:00 p.m. (Kids/Adults), 2:00 p.m. (Kids/Adults), and 3:30 p.m. (The famously chaotic Vendor-only showdown).
