The nine-day Riverbend Festival annually draws more than 350,000 spectators and features nearly 100 musical artists who perform on five stages. Over its 17 years, Riverbend has played a pivotal role in stimulating economic development in downtown Chattanooga and revitalizing the beautiful riverfront district.

The Festival features a diverse mix of musical styles including rock, country, blues, jazz and folk. Other highlights of the Festival include street performers, a 5K race and family fun run, a delectable array of food offered by 30 vendors, and a spectacular fireworks display synchronized to music on the final night of the event.

Presented by Friends of the Festival, Inc., a non-profit organization, Riverbend is regarded as one of the top music festivals in the country.
