Southside Story
The "Southside Stroll" started in 2010 as a "LAST FRIDAY" arts stroll event to celebrate our revitalizing neighborhoods, artists, photographers, craftsmen, chefs, roasters, stylists, galleries, businesses, and hostel/hotels in the Southside historic district of downtown Chattanooga, TN.
NOW you can stroll the Southside just about any day of the week and into the evenings and find something interesting to do, see, shop, eat, drink and entertain. Southside district special events are posted here by individual business owners, restaurants, clubs and entertainment venues.
So enjoy our unique businesses, galleries, retailers, coffee houses, craft breweries, restaurants, juiceries, markets, event venues, holistic & integrative medicine spas, hotels & hostels and neighborhood parks ANYTIME!
PS - this is a shared downtown district page, maintained by individual business volunteers - hence, no specific addresses, websites or contact information. Search for the individual page for any Southside business listed below if you’d like to learn more about a specific offering.
