The Wild Hunt is Coming!!!!

Known across many European cultures as The Wild Hunt, this fanciful and surreal procession awakens between Samhain and Yule—that haunting sliver of time when the days grow short, the wind bites sharper, and nature slumbers in a cloak of darkness and decay.

This year, for the very first time, Chattanooga will conjure its own Wild Hunt during the Dark Christmas Market at Patten Square on Saturday, November 8th, from 6PM to 9PM. As the shadows stretch long across the city, strange and magical beings will take to the streets. Afterward, they may even scatter mysteriously through town… for a little extra mischief beneath the winter stars.

In the spirit of this peculiar holiday season, Art 120 is brewing a series of workshops and curious gatherings throughout September and October to help our Hunt grow in both number and wonder. Whether you're crafting antlers, learning old lore, or dreaming up your otherworldly form—we'll be there to help bring your vision to life.

🦌✨ Want to join the Hunt?
Simply fill out the form and we’ll add you to the list of enchanting get-togethers. Don't worry if you haven’t chosen your creature just yet—there are countless surreal and spirited winter beings to become. If your roots trace back to a particular European region, try searching for its “winter folklore” to uncover hidden spirits, beasts, and mythic wanderers.

The Wild Hunt waits for no one…
But it might just be waiting for you. 🕯️
