Chattanooga Is Home

The annual Riverbend Festival will begin next Friday and there are still four days left to buy discounted Riverbend pins at Favorite Markets. Discount pins are $28 until June 7th. If you want to buy your pin at the gate, it will be $37. Or if you only want one night wrist bands they are available $23 except except for Family Night June 12th when one night admissions are $5 each. I think the pins are a great value. (Yet, I still haven’t decided if I should go. This is where I admit that in the almost 10 years I have been in Chattanooga, I have never been to Riverbend.)

What does a Riverbend pin get you? Nine nights of music on the river front. On six different stages, musical artists from around the world will come to Chattanooga to perform, some musicians premiering new songs, other performing classics we all know and love, from hometown singer/ songwriters to national Grammy winners. June 8th to the 16th downtown Chattanooga will be alive with the sound of music.

There are many artists performing that I am wanting to see. Earth, Wind, and Fire is second on my list, after The Clumsy Lovers.
