For three days this October, a section of downtown Chattanooga, Tennessee, will be transformed into an automotive lover’s paradise. The highly-anticipated second annual Chattanooga Motorcar Festival returns Friday the 15th of October through Sunday the 17th.
Make no mistake. The event isn’t just returning for 2021 – it’s evolving before your very eyes.
This bonafide motorcar festival will include all four significant aspects – a Concours d’Elegance, a road rally, a Mecum car auction, and a race-track competition.
