The Riverbend Festival, or called Riverbend (named for the bend in the Tennessee River) by locals, was started in June 1982 as a five night festival in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The annual festival now goes on for eight nights and ranks in the top 10% of all American festivals. The International Festivals and Events Association has awarded the festival with several awards, including 11 in 2013. Attendance continues to grow for the festival and now some individual nights can see some 80,000 people in attendance, with over 600,000 people total for the festival.
