🎭 Mardi Gras at WanderLinger is Coming to Chattanooga! 🎭
Save the Date – Saturday, February 6, 2027 2pm-9pm
Shop the Market at LLC is proud to partner with WanderLinger Restaurant &amp; Brewery to present the artisan market for Mardi Gras at WanderLinger, an unforgettable celebration taking place throughout the WanderLinger and Chattanooga Choo Choo grounds in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Together, our goal is to create one of the region's most exciting annual festivals—a vibrant, family-friendly event inspired by the authentic spirit, traditions, music, cuisine, and culture of New Orleans while creating a one-of-a-kind experience right here in Chattanooga.
This won't be just another festival, it will be a full-day cultural celebration designed to transport guests to the heart of Louisiana. From a parade and lively brass bands to incredible food, local artists, and interactive experiences, visitors will enjoy the sights, sounds, and flavors that have made Mardi Gras one of the most celebrated festivals in the world.
Visitors can look forward to an exciting lineup of attractions, including:
🎺 •A lively Second Line Brass Band•
leading traditional New Orleans-style marches throughout the festival.
🎭 •A colorful Mini Mardi Gras Parade• traveling along Station Street, featuring decorated bicycles/wagons/golf carts, festive costumes, beads, umbrellas, live entertainment, and all the excitement that makes Carnival season unforgettable.
👑 •A King Cake Competition• where local bakeries and talented home bakers can compete for bragging rights, alongside plenty of authentic King Cakes available for purchase throughout the day.
🟣🟢🟡 •A vibrant artisan marketplace located in the beautiful Chattanooga Choo Choo Gardens• filled with artists, makers, and specialty vendors who are encouraged to embrace the Mardi Gras spirit by decorating their booths with festive colors, masks, beads, feathers, umbrellas, and creative New Orleans-inspired displays.
🍺 •WanderLinger Restaurant &amp; Brewery• will serve an incredible selection of Mardi Gras-inspired specialty cocktails and New Orleans-influenced beverages from multiple bars throughout the festival, creating an authentic Bourbon Street atmosphere.
🦞 •Food will be one of the festival's biggest attractions•, featuring an outstanding lineup of food trucks serving Cajun, Creole, Southern, and Louisiana-inspired favorites, along with an authentic New Orleans-style crawfish boil prepared the traditional way. Guests can also enjoy jambalaya, gumbo, po'boys, beignets, and many other regional specialties.
🎶 Throughout the day, live entertainment will keep the celebration going with music, dancing, and interactive performances that invite everyone to join the festivities.
Together, Shop the Market at LLC and WanderLinger Restaurant &amp; Brewery hope to establish this as an annual Chattanooga tradition- one that celebrates the history and culture of Mardi Gras while bringing together families, food lovers, artists, musicians, local businesses, and visitors from across the Southeast.
Artists, makers, specialty businesses, bakeries, entertainers, nonprofits, and food vendors are invited to become part of what promises to be one of Chattanooga's most anticipated new annual festivals.
For Shop the Market at LLC founder Robert Davis, this event is especially meaningful. Having spent seven years living in New Orleans, he developed a deep appreciation for the city's rich culture, incredible cuisine, world-renowned music, historic architecture, and the traditions of Mardi Gras and as a chocolatier and chef he is excited to join in on the food fun as well.. That experience has inspired a long-time vision of bringing an authentic taste of New Orleans to Chattanooga while celebrating the creativity, hospitality, and spirit that make Carnival one of the world's most beloved celebrations. 
This is only the beginning. Additional entertainment, attractions, contests, performances, and special announcements will be revealed in the coming months.
💜💚💛 Laissez les bons temps rouler- Let the Good Times Roll! 💜💚💛

🦞Second Annual Crawfish Festival at Historic Crawfish Springs🦞 Chickamauga, Georgia | Saturday, April 3, 2027 | 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM
The Crawfish Festival is back — and it's better than ever. Fresh crawfish boiling all day long, live music, cold drinks, and Southern flavor from open to close — this is the one you don't want to miss. Join us for the Second Annual Crawfish Festival at Historic Crawfish Springs in Chickamauga, Georgia. Building on the energy, community pride, and Southern flavor that launched this event, year two promises more food, more music, more vendors, and a full day of memories worth making. This is the original Chickamauga Crawfish Festival, proudly produced by Shop the Market at in conjunction with the City of Chickamauga — and it's staying right where it belongs. Set against the stunning backdrop of Crawfish Springs — in a town once known by that very name — this festival celebrates the rich history, bold flavors, and vibrant spirit of the South in one of Georgia's most historic communities.
🦞 Savor the Flavor Fresh crawfish takes center stage, but the food lineup doesn't stop there. Multiple gourmet food trucks will serve up Gulf Coast classics, Southern seafood favorites, and plenty of non-seafood options so there's something for every appetite. Come hungry.
🔥 Authentic New Orleans-Style Crawfish Boil The pots don't stop — we'll be boiling crawfish all day and into the night, from the moment we open until the last bag is served. This is a traditional New Orleans-style crawfish boil held near the spring itself. Gather under the trees and dig into spicy crawfish, corn, potatoes, and all the fixings — boiled to perfection and served with true Southern flair all day long. First timer? No problem. Veterans will show you how it's done: suck the head, pinch the tail, and enjoy every bite.
🎵 Live Music &amp; Craft Beverages Live regional artists will keep the energy going all day long with blues, zydeco, country, and more. Grab a cold drink, pull up a seat, and let the good vibes carry you through the afternoon.
Select 21+ beverage options available with valid ID
👨‍👩‍👧 Family-Friendly Fun All Day Long This festival is built for the whole family. Kids can enjoy games, crafts, and interactive activities while adults browse handcrafted goods, artisan vendors, and exclusive festival merchandise — including custom aprons, hats, totes, and more.
