Chattanooga is turning up the volume this holiday season as Make Music Winter returns from December 1–21, 2025, celebrating the city’s vibrant and diverse music community.
This year, the event invites locals and visitors to experience music in a whole new way with the CHA Music Passport, an interactive guide that unlocks concerts, performances, historic music landmarks, and community events across the city.
From intimate performances in cozy venues to larger community gatherings, Make Music Winter highlights the creativity, talent, and heart of Chattanooga’s musicians.
The CHA Music Passport allows participants to explore the city’s musical landscape at their own pace, collecting digital “stamps” as they attend events, visit featured locations, and immerse themselves in the city’s rich musical culture.
Event Highlights Include:
- Live concerts, performances, and music gatherings hosted by local venues and community partners
- Neighborhood activations and seasonal music experiences
- Spotlights on Chattanooga’s historic and culturally significant music locations
- Opportunities to engage with the CHA Music Passport and discover hidden musical gems
Registration for performers, venues, and event hosts is open through Tuesday, November 25th.Learn more: makemusicday.org/chattanooga
