Thank you all for coming to our inaugural Chattanooga Renaissance Faire!
The incredible turnout and support were honestly beyond anything we could have imagined. We are so proud of Chattanooga for embracing a first-time event with such enthusiasm, creativity, and participation. Y'all absolutely packed it out.
We are already hard at work scheming and planning the next one. Now that we have a much better idea of turnout and logistics, we're excited to continue growing and improving the experience.
As we look ahead, there's one thing we'd like everyone to keep in mind: Chattanooga Renaissance Faire is a pop-up faire.
We are not the beautifully established Tennessee Renaissance Festival or Georgia Renaissance Festival with permanent grounds and decades of infrastructure behind them. And we're not trying to be.
Our faire is meant to be something uniquely Chattanooga. It's meant to bring our community together. It's meant to rely on the creativity and participation of our vendors, performers, volunteers, and attendees to create the magic. For one day, hundreds of people come together to transform a public park into a living fantasy world, and then by the end of the night, it all has to be packed up, broken down, and stored away until next time.
That's part of what makes it special.
And wow, did y'all bring the magic.
Looking ahead, we are planning for the next faire to be a two-day event. We will also be moving to a ticketed format, as we simply have to for crowd control and safety. Our goal is to keep the event as accessible as possible, and ticket prices will be lower than any comparable Renaissance Faire in the region.
The move to a two-day, ticketed event will allow us to bring even more to Chattanooga: more performances, more turkey legs, more workshops and activities, more immersive experiences, more decor, and even more opportunities for artists, makers, and performers to shine.
Thank you for believing in this event, supporting local artists and performers, and helping us build something truly special. This is only the beginning.
