First Horizon Pavilion events — Chattanooga, TN

Discover the Beloved First Horizon Pavilion

The First Horizon Pavilion is more than a pavilion — it’s a beloved community hub that brings Chattanooga together for markets, festivals, and open-air gatherings right in the heart of downtown. From the region’s renowned Chattanooga Market to seasonal festivals and private rentals, First Horizon Pavilion events deliver an easygoing, open-air experience with all the conveniences of a covered venue.

Spanning 50,000 square feet, the pavilion’s open-air, covered design provides shelter from rain while preserving that outdoor feel locals love. Its column-free floor plan supports flexible layouts and can comfortably host 3,000–4,000 attendees, adapting to everything from bustling markets to large-scale community events. Located adjacent to Finley Stadium, it’s easy to reach and even easier to enjoy.

As the longtime home of the Chattanooga Market — now in its 26th season as of 2026 — the pavilion has cemented its place as a central gathering space for artists, farmers, makers, and fans. Sundays from April through November, you’ll find local produce, artisan goods, food vendors, and live community programming filling the space. The venue also supports festivals and private rentals, giving Chattanooga a reliable, flexible setting year-round.

Whether you’re browsing vendors at the market or attending a special festival, the pavilion’s open design offers sightlines to downtown Chattanooga and nearby Lookout Mountain. With easy access, ground-level entry, and room to roam, it’s built for comfort, community, and a full day of discovery in the Southside neighborhood.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

First Horizon Pavilion

1826 Reggie White Blvd

Chattanooga, TN 37408

The pavilion sits in downtown Chattanooga, adjacent to Finley Stadium in the city’s Southside district — a central, walkable area with dining and entertainment nearby.

• Parking: On-site and nearby parking is available and shared with Finley Stadium; event parking fees may apply.
• Public Transit: Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority (CARTA) provides bus service nearby.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup/dropoff zones are available near the venue entrance.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 30–60 minutes before your event start time. For the Chattanooga Market — especially on peak-season Sundays — early arrival helps you secure convenient parking and first access to popular vendors. With shared parking around Finley Stadium, coming a bit early takes the stress out of the day.

The pavilion is open-air yet covered, so events are typically rain or shine. You’ll be protected from precipitation, but temperatures and humidity can vary — dress for the weather and consider layers during shoulder seasons. Cell service is generally good, though large events can cause occasional slowdowns; downloading your tickets and event details in advance is a smart move.

The site is flat and ground-level, with minimal walking required from nearby lots. If you’re meeting a group, pick a simple, visible landmark like the main entrance so everyone can find each other quickly before you head in to explore.

Venue Navigation

The 50,000 sq. ft. open, column-free floor plan makes it easy to move around and adapt to each event’s layout. You’ll find restrooms on-site, and during major market days or festivals, additional wayfinding and temporary setups may help guide foot traffic.

Food vendors and local eateries operate during market events, offering a variety of snacks, meals, and beverages. Artisan and craft vendors also sell merchandise and specialty goods throughout the pavilion. ATMs may be present during larger events, but plan ahead with a cashless payment option for speed and convenience.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Check event-specific guidelines.
• Prohibited Items: Check event-specific guidelines.
• Re-entry Policy: Policies vary by event; market-style events typically allow re-entry.
• Service Animals: Service animals are permitted as required by law.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Arrive early for the best vendor selection at the Chattanooga Market.
• Dress for the weather — the pavilion is covered but open-air, and temperatures can vary.

Pre-Event Planning

If you’re heading to the Chattanooga Market (April–November, Sundays), consider arriving close to opening time for the widest product selection and shortest lines. Plan your route through the pavilion, then take breaks at communal tables to sample food and compare finds with friends.

Build in time to enjoy the surroundings — the pavilion’s open sides frame views of downtown Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain. With restaurants and bars nearby in the Southside district, you can extend your day with a pre- or post-event meal just steps away.

For groups, coordinate meeting points at the main entrance or a clearly visible vendor area. Because the layout shifts by event, a quick check of the day’s map or signage helps everyone navigate efficiently and make the most of your time inside.

Accessibility

First Horizon Pavilion is ADA-accessible, with accessible parking available in adjacent lots and a ground-level footprint that requires no stairs. The open floor plan allows for easy movement and accessible seating choices throughout the space.

If you need assistance choosing accessible seating areas or planning your arrival route, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before purchasing.
