The 10th Annual AEC Culture Fest was a huge success! Over 10,000 people of all ages came to the Chattanooga Market at the First Tennessee Pavilion to enjoy the beautiful weather, performances, colorful booths, kids activiites, demonstrations, food and shopping. Our first bake multicultural bake sale was also a big hit, raising nearly $400 for AEC programs.
