After five years in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the Moon River Festival is hitting the pause button for 2024. Chattanooga Mayor Tim Kelly joins hosts Barry, Lord Taco and Bryan Stone on The podcast What to discuss possible reasons why. Listen above, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Despite three years of full occupancy in Chattanooga, Moon River will not return for what Mayor Kelly admits are complicated reasons. He points out the overall impact of inflation as well as the economics of a festival in 2024.
But while he hopes Moon River will return at some point in the future, he's not waiting for the stars to align. “I can tell you that behind the scenes we are talking to some people about trying to champion something local,” says Mayor Kelly, noting that the event would focus on “smaller, local artists.” “Because the consolidation of the festival business doesn't help any of this either, because there aren't enough participants and competitors.”
