The East Ridge Council of the Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce and the City of East Ridge announce the 2025 East Ridge Business Expo, a premier event designed to bring local businesses together to connect, showcase their products and services, and foster new opportunities.

This year’s expo will take place on Thursday, April 3 from 11:30 a.m.-3:00 p.m. at the East Ridge Community Center at 1515 Tombras Ave.

"The East Ridge Business Expo is an invaluable opportunity for local businesses to build relationships, boost brand visibility, and explore new ventures," organizers said.
"If you want to expand your customer base, collaborate with other businesses or showcase your latest offerings, this event is perfect for you. Networking provides an opportunity to build relationships with potential clients, partners and collaborators. It also helps enhance your brand’s visibility within the local business community. The expo is an excellent way to explore new ventures and partnerships that can contribute to your business growth."

Blood Assurance will have their blood bus parked in front of the Community Center from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. "With a goal of at least 20 donations, please consider donating either before or after visiting the expo. It is a wonderful opportunity to give back to the community while attending the event," organizers said.

For registration, Chamber members will pay $40, and non-members will pay $50. Food vendors are welcome with no registration fee, but will be required to provide samples for at least 30 attendees. Non-vendor attendees will pay $15, with all proceeds going to a local nonprofit. Registration will close on Monday, March 30 and all vendor payments must be made online to confirm your spot.

"Thirty-seven incredible businesses showcased their products and services last year. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this exciting event and contribute to the success of our local business community," organizers said. "Let’s work together to make the 2025 East Ridge Business Expo a success and strengthen our local business community.
