Moon River Recap

Moon River may have been cut short this year, but it was still a blast.

While Moon River Music Festival was unfortunately cut short on Sunday due to flooding, we’re reminiscing on our favorite parts (one of which includes getting refunds — thanks Moon River).

  • Favorite food | Fistful of Tacos + Fro-Daddy Donuts (a local brand that you can check out at the Chattanooga Market)
  • Favorite set | An unexpected standout (only because we hadn’t heard of them before the show) was Lucius
  • Favorite moment | Editor Kristen got to meet Briston Maroney in person, which definitely took the cake
  • Pro tips for next year | Check the weather ahead of time, and wear rain boots for mud if the forecast calls for rain
