CHATTER Magazine – October 2026
All you can eat in the Scenic City, A-Z
Many Chattanoogans seek out live music for a fun, communal experience that is superior to listening to a song on the radio or hearing a playlist at a party, restaurateur Scottie Bowman says.

It's a drizzly Thursday at the City Café Diner on Lee Highway, and business is steady. An order of avocado toast, topped with fried eggs, is a sign that the breakfast crowd is lingering, while burgers are bound for later arrivals.

Candice Neal has no problem eating lunch alone. But it would be weird to eat brunch alone, the Chattanooga-area realtor says.

Waking up to a beautiful brunch on a lazy weekend morning is the stuff dreams are made of.

News flash: Brunch can be good for you, as long as you don't go calorie crazy.

La Paz Chattanooga, a nonprofit supporting the community through advocacy, education and social programs, celebrated 20 years with their highly regarded Sangria on the Southside event at the First Horizon Pavilion.

This year, McKamey Animal Center raised at least $61,000 at their third annual Paw Palooza pet walk and festival.

Hosted by Crabtree Farms, this event featured dinner on the scenic farm with bluegrass music playing in the background and an auction.

This fundraiser garden party was hosted by the Chattanooga Symphony & Opera. The party was held at The Rosecomb and featured live music, spring-inspired cocktails, gourmet food, best-dressed awards, painting and a scavenger hunt. All of the proceeds support the Chattanooga Symphony & Opera in their mission to "inspire, engage and enrich the Greater Chattanooga community through music and music education."

This year, to celebrate the 20th UnBought and UnBossed event, Girls Inc. of Chattanooga updated their traditional annual luncheon with a new evening event: the Sneaker Gala and Silent Auction, with a DJ, dance floor, food and drinks.
