Nightfall, Chattanooga’s longest-running outdoor concert series, continues its 34th season Friday at Miller Park, with a headline performance by Cajun musician Waylon Thibodeaux and local opening act Mojo Whiskey. Other entertainment includes food trucks, local artisan vendors and lawn games.
Review for Waylon Thibodeaux:
From the young age of 16, Waylon Thibodeaux has been preforming and playing the fiddle all around Louisiana and earned the title of State Fiddle Champion. Completely self-taught, he became a regular performer of the New Orleans' Bourbon Street area and built a reputation as one of Louisiana’s best known recording artists. Waylon Thibodeaux will be making his first Chattanooga appearance and performing authentic Cajun music live at Miller Park Friday at 8 p.m.
Review for Mojo Whiskey:
Mojo Whiskey is a breath of fresh southern rock air, that produces great unfiltered and gimmick free music. The band brings together their diverse backgrounds together to connect and create great music for Southeast Tennessee. With their powerhouse vocals and rock driven guitar riffs, Mojo Whiskey will be performing live at Miller Park Friday at 7 p.m.
Friday night’s Nightfall concert will again be moved to Miller Park, to provide more room for social distancing while viewing the performance. Tables and chairs, as well as painted circles on the lawn will indicate appropriate social distancing while listening to the music. Hand sanitizers, as well as disposable free masks, will be available throughout the event.
Motorcycle parking will be allowed in the one block of M. L. King between Market and Broad Street. Due to complaints of noise interference with the featured music on stage, motorcycle parking will not be allowed in Market Street.
For those who received their first Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine at Nightfall on Aug. 13, a second dose will be administered by the Hamilton County Health Department Friday at the Waterhouse Pavilion from 6-8:30 p.m.
Immediately following Nightfall every Friday his year, the Lookout Wild Film Festival will be showing an hour of free short adventure films in Miller Park from 9:45-10:45 p.m.
