Founded in 2014, Moon River Music Festival celebrates its seventh installment in 2022 and fourth in Chattanooga after outgrowing its previous home at Memphis' storied Levitt Shell. The last three years have been met with sold-out crowds.
Past headliners have included Wilco, Lord Huron, Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit, The Avett Brothers and The Head and the Heart.
Each year the festival has worked to build a lasting relationship within the Chattanooga community through local- and state-level non-profit partnerships. This year is no exception, with Moon River again donating a portion of each ticket's proceeds to Friends of Outdoor Chattanooga and St. Jude Children's Hospital of Tennessee.
Moon River Music Festival is presented by Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors and produced by AC Entertainment and C3 Presents.
