Art 120 announces the return of the International Market for its next series of cultural festivities, kicking off on Oct. 26 from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. at East Lake Park, 3000 E. 34th St. in Chattanooga, with a vibrant celebration of Chattanooga’s Latin American community: the Día de Todos los Santos.
Officials said, "This traditional Day of the Saints celebration will feature a rich tapestry of activities, including live music and dance performances by local Folklorico groups, a showcase of Latin artwork, interactive Dia de Los Santos art activities and a delightful selection of food from Guatemala, Brazil, Cuba and more.
Now in its fourth year, Art 120 is partnering with Chattanooga Parks and Outdoors to bring this cherished event to the heart of our Latin community."
“While we have enjoyed a lot of success animating public spaces in downtown over the past decade, we felt it was time to bring this traditional celebration into the East Lake community for everyone to enjoy,” said Kate Warren, executive director of Art 120.
Art 120's next international market will include food from across the seven seas with their “Pirates on Main” Market as part of the Mainx24 event on Dec. 7. This promises to be another exciting opportunity to celebrate culture and community in Chattanooga, organizers said.
