Last Market of the Summer Along Rossville BLVD

August 1, 2023 By Contributed Article 0 Comments

 

The BLVD Project and Rossville Downtown Development  Authority are teaming up again to host the last market of the summer series. The last market is  scheduled for Friday, August 4 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. and will be a children’s festival with a magic show  and sandcastle station.  

The BLVD is a grassroots organization that seeks to improve food access, safety, transportation,  aesthetics, and business along the Rossville Blvd corridor. The market is located at 207 Chickamauga  Ave. Rossville, GA and will feature vendors selling locally grown produce, flowers, original artwork,  and consumable personal goods. 

The organizations hosted summer markets that were well-attended and well-received by the  community, with hundreds in attendance for the June and July markets. Karen McKinney, who is the  market manager for The BLVD, says their mission is to foster new growth in the community and  provide a destination for families and friends that is affordable and local. “We anticipate that visitors to  our market will enjoy the vendors, food, and entertainment available and will appreciate the unique  and welcoming atmosphere we have created,” said McKinney.  

The summer markets were themed, including a music festival in June and culture festival in July. Culture Chatt was a sponsor of the July market and Co-Founder Jaime Kerns says she believes in the  vision of supporting and celebrating diversity along Rossville Blvd.  

“We at Culture Chatt intentionally seek to partner with community groups that provide space and  opportunity for Chattanoogans to gather, connect, and support each other through sharing their  culture, business, or both. We desire to build a proud community that is resilient, united, and able to  create a successful future in Chattanooga,” said Kerns. 

The children’s festival will have sandcastles, music, a magic show, and water sprinklers. Parents are  encouraged to bring a towel and chairs. Interested vendors can email rossvilleblvdmarket@gmail.com  for more information. More details can be found by visiting the Rossville/BLVD Open Air Market Facebook page.

The Blvd is a group of neighbors, businesses, property owners, and passionate citizens who want to  see Rossville BLVD become a thriving community for businesses and neighbors. The organization  seeks to improve safety, transportation, aesthetics, and the formation of a formal business  association.
