CHATTER Magazine – October 2026
All you can eat in the Scenic City, A-Z
Thinking of sending your child to private school and want to figure out which one is the best fit? Here's a breakdown of the schools in the area, so you can compare the stats and make a more informed decision.

The Chattanooga area is full of ways to enjoy the outdoors.

Most cats spend the bulk of their time cuddling, purring and eating. They play occasionally, meow a heck of a lot and maybe moonlight as a cat-video star.

The promise of a warm summer day or a nice autumn evening calls for packing your picnic basket and heading outside.

The air is cool and damp.

There's a funny saying common among members of the Chattanooga Bicycle Club (CBC).

One of Chattanooga's most enchanting summer evenings returned with the annual 100 Dinner and Auction, uniting top local chefs, artisans and nearly 300 guests for a multi-course feast under the stars. Surrounded by blooming fields, fairy lights and the ambiance of live bluegrass music, this event offered a rustic celebration of community and creativity. More than just a meal, the evening raised vital funds for Crabtree Farms while cultivating connection and inspiring future growth.

Garden prints and cocktail glasses bloomed under the stars as guests filled the Hunter Museum of American Art's riverfront terrace for Terrace at Twilight. Surprise performances, flowing drinks, dancing and bursts of floral fashion brought spring to life on the bluff. Tickets from the event benefited the museum and its mission to use art to connect Americans to each other and the world they live in.

The Chattanooga Convention Center radiated elegance this past June as the Pi Omega Chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority celebrated a century of impact, sisterhood and service. With glamorous gowns, joyful tributes and a dance floor that stayed busy, their Centennial Gala honored 100 years of "soaring in the Scenic City" and raised funds to continue their support of the local community through scholarships and various youth programs.

Paws hit the pavement and tails wagged in overdrive at McKamey Animal Center's Pawpalooza, the ultimate fundraising walk for furry friends. Four-legged participants strutted their stuff at Coolidge Park — with their humans, of course — to support the center and the animals McKamey cares for each year. With food trucks, local vendors and crowd-favorite pet contests, there was something for every species. All proceeds went toward supporting the animals and services that make McKamey a place where every pet has a chance to shine.
