Christkindlmarkt at Coolidge Park

The Christkindlmarkt transforms Chattanooga's Coolidge Park into a German-inspired holiday village along the Tennessee River, kicking off the season on the Northshore. Wander among dozens of vendor booths offering artisan gifts, festive food, and warm Gluhwein under twinkling lights, with candles, music, and riverside charm setting the mood. It's a free, family-friendly way to start holiday shopping and soak up seasonal atmosphere. Saturday runs 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Admission is free; bring cash for vendors and treats, dress warmly, and plan for Northshore parking or a stroll across the Walnut Street Bridge.
