[...] together. So naturally we were excited to hear about the Chattanooga Market’s Beast Feast, a BBQ cookoff. Sample some of the city’s best BBQ for a mere $5? Yes, [...]
Once again, the Chattanooga Market has outdone itself! What an enjoyable afternoon! Please let me know the name of the popcorn people who also did the pig roast, or how I can contact them. I know of a group that would like to have a similar pig roast and would like to see if they would be interested in “doing the pig”. Again, thanks for a wonderful day! What a crowd!!!

We did not have a good time today at the Beast Feast.
Me, my wife and daughter came down today expecting to enjoy our selves as we did last year at the wing tasting. After buying $20 worth of samples and standing in line for almost 30 minutes and never getting our first sample. We became frustrated and asked for our money back. The problem we had was it was unorganized and you could not tell which line was going which way. It would have been much much better if they were spread out more.
we wanted to sample each of the vendors, but at the rate we were standing in line it would have taking us 2 1/2 to 4 hours to stand thru all the lines to get just the samples.
We will be back at a later time for other events but we will survey the set-up before we spend money just to stand in line.
I look forward to your responce
The crowds were the largest in the history of the Market, indeed the history of the entire complex — with approximately 15,000 people present, the amount of interest simply overwhelmed every aspect of the facility. With ease, we could have occupied twice the space, twice the parking – everything. The same layout has been used for years by other large events/festivals, and we assumed it would be fine for this weekend. Realistically, I believe The Beast Feast will evolve into a multi-day event occupying a much larger area in future years — the demand is clearly present.
I’m glad that you got your refund – we certainly want for everyone to have a good time. The challenge of how to comfortably support larger crowds on key weekends is one of our top priorities.
I thought it was great that you managed to create another event that people were excited about, had free admission & people showed up for to support in droves! You couldn’t have predicted that number for a first year but it means next year will be fantastic.
Would be nice to know which vendor was voted best though! Can someone post this somewhere please??
We were one of the competitors this year in the Beast Feast and we would just like to thank everyone at the Chattanooga Market for putting this together. We too hope everyone had a great time & hope this continues for years to come. We’d like to thank everyone who stood in line to sample HillbillyWillys we were very excited to serve each and everyone of you. Thanks again to Chris, Beth and the rest at Chattanooga Market. This was a fabulous idea!
We were one of the competitors this year, we would like to thank the Chattanooga Market for putting this together. We would also like to thank everyone who waited in the very long lines to sample MOSS PLACE,it was our pleasure to serve each and everyone of you,seeing old friends and meeting new ones.Thanks again…..
Im sooo excited but I really believe HillBillywilly’s took it! Love BBQ
Is there any way that you can list on your site which vendors will be at the market each Sunday? It was very upsetting to drive down all the way from Soddy Daisy this afternoon, only to find maybe three vendors with VERY little fresh produce, and a ridiculous amount of craftspeople.
The early visitor gets the produce! We had a full load of farmers, overflowing with produce, at the start of the day. Due to strong consumer demand, they simply sold everything. By late in the afternoon, several of our farms are simply sold and gone.
We’re not a mega-mart, with deep-freeze storage; what is picked in the morning is sold at the Market within hours — nothing lingers in storage for days/weeks/months. This is the reason why local produce is so much tastier, healthier — and disappears quickly once offered for sale to the public.
Next week will begin to see heirloom tomatoes, and sweet corn will be arriving in about another week.
[PS - and being the largest produce-only Market in the region, we feel our variety and assortment of craftspeople is quite perfect.]
I love Southern Smokehouse Bar-B-Que’s beef so it’s no surprise to me that they won the people’s choice award!

The Chattanooga Market is #1 in my book! EVERY WEEK is amazing…well-planned and FUN for the whole family! Today at the Market, the music was GREAT! I ate BBQ, drank fresh Strawberry Lemonade, ate ice cream in a waffle cone, bought spices and veggies and salsa… and LAUGHED with my family! Looking forward to next week…
I would like to contact the “orchid lady”. She is located, with her partner (porelain pottery, near the front on the side toward the right side. I do not find her listed in the vendor list. Thank you.

If you are in or anywhere at all near the Chattanooga Downtown area, do yourself a favor and make it down to see Sonia. She is just back for a day or two from the Breaking Southern Ground Tour and performed with the likes of Zac Brown, Levi Lowery and Nic Cowan! Rare chance to see a rare gem in a laid back beautiful setting.
A great season this year… super proud to say this great event each week is in my hometown. Can’t wait to be apart of it next year!
