The City of East Ridge announces its 2025 Fall Festival, now expanded into a two-day celebration of fall, on Saturday, Sept. 27 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday, Sept. 28 from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. The two-day event will be held at the Camp Jordan Amphitheater, 323 Camp Jordan Pkwy. in East Ridge.
"This year’s event promises double the fun, double the activities, and double the community spirit – and it is completely free," organizers said. "Thanks to event sponsors like ASA Engineering, DCP Centers and Pillar Construction, the festival will feature 200+ vendors, a food court, kids’ inflatable zone, pony rides, petting zoo, Parkridge East pumpkin patch, photo booth, face painting and so much more.
There will be live music by The Band Chickamauga on Saturday and a DJ on Sunday to ensure a high energy atmosphere. Playing family friendly hits, guests will surely have something to sing along with as they enjoy all this event has to offer.
"In addition to vendors like Binding Impressions, Griffin’s Foot long Hotdogs, GirlsrulesTN, and 4A’s Farm, the City’s departments will also be offering meet and greets with adoptable dogs, information on City Codes, and more."
“One of the first events I worked at after being hired was the Centennial in 2021,” said Hannah Spear, Community Center supervisor. “From that event, the city administrators spun the idea for an annual fall festival. Now, here we are - we have expanded into a huge two-day event where East Ridge comes together in such a unique way. You don’t often see events with no admission or parking fees, or with this many activities offered at no cost. I think that says a lot about the nature of the Fall Festival. It is truly an event for the people to enjoy.”
"Whether you are shopping local, snapping a silly photo in the photo booth, enjoying a delicious meal or dancing in front of the stage, there is something for you at the East Ridge Fall Festival," organizers said.
