by Adeola I., Staff Writer Colorful flags representing dozens of countries around the globe waved graciously and proudly at Culture Fest this past weekend at the Chattanooga Market. Local vendors sold authentic clothing and jewelry from Central American, South American, Asian, and African countries, and food trucks specialized in cuisines such as Southern Creole Cuisine.
Culture Fest made it possible to enjoy a grilled cheese sandwich and gator tail in the same sitting. The smell of authentic empanadas and burritos flooded the market. Traditional Peruvian dance was at one side of the fest, while at the booth featuring Japanese culture, market-goers completed origami structures, and learned about Yucatas, a casual form of a kimono. Whether you're interested in Japanese kimonos, beautiful Mexican embroidered dresses, Peruvian dances, or vibrant Guatemalan jewelry, be sure to check out Culture Fest next year. The Chattanooga Market has various themed Sundays, such as the Culture Fest, so be sure to check out their website to find out more information: http://chattanooga.events/organizer/chattanooga-market/ The Chattanooga Market is open from 11:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. every Sunday.
