Market Days Arrive at the Residence Inn Chattanooga Near Hamilton Place

CHATTANOOGA, TN--(Marketwired - Mar 14, 2014) - Nothing heralds the arrival of spring quite like a good farmer's market. Fresh produce, local artisans and a smattering of tempting sweets all combine for a perfect weekend day. And in Chattanooga, there's only one farmer's market where you'll have more fun than if you hit your snooze button. It's the Chattanooga Market, and guests of the Residence Inn Chattanooga Near Hamilton Place will be just 15 minutes away from all its delicious action when it opens for another season on April 27, 2014.

The Market welcomes more than 50 farmers each week, all of whom arrive with produce, meats or cheeses straight from the farm. In addition, around 150 artisans set up shop, tempting visitors with items like cheesecake pops, freshly squeezed lemonade and fresh-cut flowers, as well as handcrafted items like glass and jewelry. Food trucks also rumble onto the grounds to feed hungry shoppers, and the cultural diversity represented by these mobile eateries nicely complements the range of entertainments on-hand. Cuatro de Mayo, for example, is the Market's chronologically convenient riff on the traditional Mexican holiday, while local pop, folk and country artists croon to the crowds each Sunday.
