The Riverbend Festival has become the biggest public event in the scenic city over the last twenty five plus years.

When you see the magnitude of Riverbend Chattanooga and it's impact on the city's economy today, it is hard to believe that it has grown from a mere one thousand people watching performers on a sand barge to well over half a million attendees enjoying top notch refreshments and world class entertainment over a period of nine days on five stages and over one hundred performers from most genres of music! Wow, I'm glad I got that all out!


Did I mention that the Riverbend Festival always ends with one of the largest and best fireworks displays I have ever seen? Well it does!
