The Moon River Music Festival will not be making its anticipated return to Coolidge Park this year, according to a statement on social media from the festival’s cofounder, singer Drew Holcomb.
The Americana festival, its most recent rendition occurring in September 2023, quickly became a staple in Chattanooga, drawing the likes of Hozier, Jason Isbell, The War and Treaty and Brandi Carlisle over the years.

After cancelling the festival in 2024, Holcomb told fans he and his band, The Neighbors, were looking to bring the festival back in 2025. The announcement canceling Moon River 2025 on Feb. 5 made no such promises.
“Our show at Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Auditorium, on February 8, will be your only chance to see us in (Chattanooga) in 2025,” Holcomb’s post said, referencing the Chattanooga date for the Memory Bank Tour Holcomb is on with his wife, Ellie Holcomb.
