Chattanooga is set to come alive with the return of Chattanooga Week 2026, a seven-day cultural experience taking place April 19–25, 2026, featuring a dynamic lineup of events designed to unite the city through music, fashion, art, and community engagement.
Anchored by the officially recognized 423 Day on April 23, Chattanooga Week highlights the power of collaboration and creative expression while driving community connection and local economic impact.
“Chattanooga Week is more than events — it’s a movement to unify our city through creativity, culture, and community,” said LaSha' Rockymore-Mitchell, Executive Director of Music Fashion and Arts Foundation. “423 Day was built on the idea of collaboration and still holds that. The vision is to make Chattanooga feel like home for everyone — to meet the great people doing great things across our city.”
Celebrated annually on April 23, 423 Day is the centerpiece of Chattanooga Week and a city-recognized celebration of local culture and unity. This year’s free community fair at Miller Park is expected to draw 500+ attendees, featuring:
- Live performances by Swayyvo and Kindora
- Local craft and food vendors
- Community resource organizations
- Interactive creative experiences
The full week is projected to impact over 1,500 Chattanooga residents, supporting small businesses, artists, and community organizations while contributing to the city’s growing creative economy.
