Riverbend Festival

Riverbend Festival, located in Chattanooga, Tennessee, has been a world-renowned event since its inception in 1982. It began as a special five-night celebration and developed into the remarkable three-night festival it is today. Not only does Riverbend inspire local pride, but it also encourages business growth within downtown Chattanooga while spotlighting talented artists from all around.

In 2023, Riverbend Festival will celebrate its 40th anniversary as Chattanooga's most celebrated music festival. Music enthusiasts can look forward to a spectacular experience at Ross's Landing on Riverfront Parkway, as the Tennessee River serves as the stunning backdrop for three stages of live performances. This is sure to be a musical event like no other in scenic downtown Chattanooga.

Every year, more than two dozen acts take to the multiple stages "between the bridges" (Olgiati Bridge & Market Street Bridge). Festival-goers will delight in a wide selection of treats from dozens of vendors offering cocktails, beer, and other beverages. Plus, you can pick up official festival merchandise or even artist merchandise!
