A Confederate general’s leg was buried in Tunnel Hill, Georgia, after the Civil War’s Battle of Chickamauga. Tours of a museum that will tell that story are among events on the upcoming calendar. You’ll also get a chance to shop in two of the Chattanooga Market’s smaller outlets and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with concerts or roller skating. Here’s a brief look at what’s ahead.
* Chattanooga (mini) Markets: We’re still more than a month away from Chattanooga Market’s debut, but the nonprofit organization that runs the seasonal fixture on the Southside also operates smaller outlets around town. Two of those debut this weekend.
Chattanooga River Market on the Tennessee Aquarium plaza, 1 Broad St., will be open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays starting March 12-13. Collegedale Market will run 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Sundays starting March 14 at Collegedale Commons, 4950 Swinyar Drive. Both offer fresh produce, arts, crafts and artisan foods. Face masks, physical distancing and other COVID-19 health protocols are still in place.
Chattanooga Market’s main event will open for the season April 24-25 at First Horizon Pavilion. Find out more at ChattanoogaMarket.com.
* The Signal, 1810 Chestnut St., has a concert and roller disco on the weekly calendar. Find tickets at thesignaltn.com.
