SEPTEMBER 27, 2024 | 6-9 PM | FIRST HORIZON PAVILION

Let’s get hog-wild as we bring together bacon-loving local restaurants and barrel-aged spirits from around the world to savor an evening of southern indulgence. Your Bacon & Barrel ticket includes unlimited samples of signature bacon-themed dishes and 15 whiskey samples, plus live music, fun photo opps, and more. Beer, wine, and full sized cocktails will be available for purchase at the bar. This event supports Chattanooga Market, so every sip counts.

Benefiting:

The Chattanooga Market is the region’s largest producer-only marketplace.  As a 501(c)(3) non-profit entity, we were established to provide healthy, fresh produce, artisan foods, as well as locally-produced arts and craft wares to Chattanoogans and community visitors. We offer entrepreneurs who are hand-making, growing or otherwise creating their own goods a low-cost environment to start, grow and expand their business.
