The Main Event — Culture Fest: On Sunday from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m., the Chattanooga Market and the Arts & Education Council present the 10th Annual AEC Culture Fest. For the first time in its history, the festival will be held at the First Tennessee Pavilion instead of Coolidge Park. This year's Culture Fest theme is "Flavors of the World," and the schedule of events includes a lineup of cooking demonstrations from around the globe. The schedule also includes live music, dance and theater performances, arts demonstrations and childrens' activities throughout the day. And since it's being hosted by the Market, all your favorite food and arts vendors will be on hand.
Read on for fine wine, music and of course, football.
