RIVERBEND FESTIVAL - June 8-16, 2007
Riverbend began in 1981 with the intention of bringing diverse elements of the Chattanooga community together through the common language of music.
 |
The festival site began as a narrow walkway along the Tennessee River at Ross’s Landing. Originally known as Five Nights in Chattanooga, Riverbend has grown to nine nights, with six stages and more than 100 performing artists. |
Downtown development was also a major goal of the festival, and since it’s inception in 1981, there has been major revitalization of the downtown area, as evidenced by the Tennessee Aquarium, IMAX Theatre, Creative Discovery Museum, Jack’s Alley, Riverboat Tours, the new Chattanooga Lookouts Stadium and countless fine restaurants, shops and tourist attractions.
Festival attendance speaks of Riverbend’s success, with capacity crowds in excess of 650,000. Many individual evenings see over 80,000 people attend the festival.
