The Riverbend Festival is a fabulous nine-day event in Chattanooga, Tennessee , held every June. It is located downtown along the banks of the Tennessee River . Riverbend is best described as a huge family-oriented music festival, with six stages of almost every possible genre of music. Plus roving artists, fantastic fireworks, Starfighter Jet Flyovers, a 5K & 10K Run, and a fun-filled Children's Village.

Riverbend began in 1981 with the intention of bringing diverse elements of the Chattanooga community together through the common language of music. The festival site began as a narrow walkway along the Tennessee River at Ross's Landing. Originally known as Five Nights in Chattanooga , Riverbend has grown to nine nights, with six stages and more than 100 performing artists. Festival attendance speaks of Riverbend's success, with capacity crowds in excess of 650,000. Many individual evenings see over 80,000 people attend the festival.
