Christmas Dinner Train — Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum

There's no shortage of Christmas events in Chattanooga. There's only one where dinner is served aboard a vintage dining car while the city lights drift past your window.
The Christmas Dinner Train returns this holiday season — a four-course dinner on a moving heritage railroad, running evenings from 11/6/26 through 12/30/26. It's the kind of night out that doesn't need much explanation once you've done it. And if you haven't, this is the year.
Aboard our restored dining car, you'll sit down to a full four-course meal while the train rolls through the Chattanooga night. White tablecloths, attentive service, and a setting that no restaurant in the city can replicate. The route returns you to where you started — but the evening stays with you.
What's included: Four-course dinner, service aboard a vintage heritage rail car
Departure: Grand Junction Depot — 4119 Cromwell Road, Chattanooga, TN 37421
These dates sell out every year. If you have a specific evening in mind — an anniversary, a birthday, a Christmas tradition you're starting — book it now.
