Chattanooga free music: Nightfall begins Friday night

One of the things I love about Chattanooga is that there is always something to do. And as a bonus, it usually isn’t too hard to find free activites for you and your family.

The Nightfall concert series is one of those free activies that people flock to in the summer. As a bonus, the concert always features local musicians, of all different kinds of musical stylings. From folk music to jazz to Celtic rock (and more), you can find a them here in Chattanooga.

From the Chattanooga Downtown Partnership:

The Chattanooga Downtown Partnership kicks off the 2007 Nightfall Concert Series on Friday, May 25, at Miller Plaza. Now in its 19th season, Nightfall continues to bring an eclectic mix of rock, blues, jazz, reggae, zydeco, funk, bluegrass and folk music to Downtown Chattanooga. Local musicians take the stage at 7 PM to get the crowd ready for headline performances by national and international talent beginning at 8 PM. This FREE 17-week series is held in Miller Plaza on Friday evenings from Memorial Day weekend through September 28, with the exception of the two Fridays during Riverbend. Beer, wine, food and non-alcoholic drink concessions are available on site. No outside food or beverages are allowed.
