Chattanooga Ren Faire
Chattanooga Ren Faire was born from a Renaissance-themed Night Market that proved a resounding success. After overwhelming demand, we set out to bring a true Renaissance Faire to Chattanooga.
Throughout the day, the realm will come alive with a wide range of activities and entertainments, including live performances, roaming characters, demonstrations of traditional crafts, interactive games, and hands-on experiences for all ages. Whether you wish to watch, wander, or join in the revelry, there is always something unfolding within the faire.
The realm unfolds in the shape of a great star, its points stretching outward to stages, guilds, and places of merriment. This star-shaped map invites guests to roam freely from point to point, choosing their own path through craft, performance, and play, with new wonders waiting at every turn.
We hope you join in on this journey!
The Night Market marked the beginning, where a simple idea grew into the call for a true Ren Faire.
About Night Market
Nestled in the heart of Chattanooga’s North Shore district on Frazier Avenue, Verre Noir’s Night Market offers a unique blend of art, mysticism, and community. This monthly event transforms the area into a vibrant hub for alternative shopping, with many surrounding businesses joining in to create a welcoming, community-driven atmosphere. Each market has a different theme, and typically draws a huge turnout, showcasing the event’s growing popularity and the creativity of its attendees.
A Curated Experience
Night Market showcases a diverse array of local vendors, including tarot readers, artists, and creators of handmade goods such as art, pottery, jewelry and more. Attendees can also enjoy treats from local food vendors adding to the evening’s enchanting atmosphere.
Community and Creativity
Beyond shopping, the Night Market is a vibrant hub for community engagement. Events often feature live performances, contests, special guests, and interactive experiences—like a live DnD table hosted by Tyler of @the_rpgdad with prizes sponsored by Infinity Flux. Each market embraces a unique theme, inspiring many attendees to dress up creatively, fostering a strong sense of connection and celebration among all who attend.

What began as a Renaissance-themed Night Market was meant to be a single evening of revelry—lantern light, merry makers, handcrafted wares, and magic woven into the familiar rhythm of our Night Market. The response was immediate and overwhelming. Guests lingered, vendors thrived, performers dazzled, and one truth became clear: this was something the community wanted more of.
From that night forward, the call grew louder. Requests for a larger realm, longer hours, more artisans, more music, more spectacle. What started as a themed gathering became a shared vision—to bring a true Renaissance Faire to Chattanooga. Answering that call, we expanded the dream beyond twilight streets and into a full-day celebration, transforming the spirit of that original Night Market into something grander, immersive, and enduring.
Thus, the Chattanooga Ren Faire was born—not as a departure from Night Market, but as its natural evolution.
