A Labor Day weekend that begins in August may feel a little weird, but the arrival of fall festivals on the calendar definitely feels timely. As the unofficial end of summer, Labor Day also marks a starting point of a four-month festival season that takes us through the crisp days and nights of autumn into the festive celebrations of Thanksgiving and Christmas. At all of these events, you'll find arts, crafts, food and music in abundance. For the full list of fall events happening in the Chattanooga area and beyond, click the link in our bio.
