Red, White, and Blueberries at the Chattanooga Market
July 2, 11am-4pm
Celebrating the 4th of July weekend, blueberries are the firecracker of the day…enjoy blueberries in just about everything at Chattanooga Market. Patrons can enter in one of our blueberry pie-eating contests (noon and 1pm), featuring fresh baked pies made by the Culinard Cooking Institute and prepared with fresh, local blueberries. At 3pm cheer on your favorite vendors during the Chattanooga Market Vendor pie-eating competition! Win a pie to take home! Sign up at the Market Information Desk on Sunday, 30 minutes before each contest. And don’t miss our much anticipated “You be The Judge” pie-eating contest at 2pm, featuring a handful of our Hamilton County Court Judges – it’s a little messy, but a lot of fun!

Red, White, and Blue Day
July 4, 12 noon-4pm
Creative Discovery Museum
Red White and Blue Day gives families a fun way to celebrate the holiday while exploring the historical reason for the holiday. This may be the only place offering patriotic activities meaningful to children and adults in the midst of picnics and outside activities that don’t necessarily reference the historical reason for the holiday. All children know about and love birthdays, but how many July 4th celebrations actually throw a birthday party for America?

This is our first year in Chattanooga and are relocating here. What’s the best stuff to do on July 4th? Have a high schooler that is hard to please since moving here and missing her friends. She hasn’t gone to school here to really make any yet. Realm want her to have some fun.
