Friends Of The Festival Issues Concessionaire Call For Int'l Bluegrass Festival; Applications Open Till July 30

  • Thursday, July 10, 2025
Friends of the Festival is looking for some of the best concessions in the region to serve during the 2025 IBMA Bluegrass Live! Festival. Held for the first time in Chattanooga, the festival will take place September 19 and 20 in the city’s downtown.    

Applications are now open for food concessionaires, and can be found on the Friends of the Festival website.  The site will accept applications until Wednesday, July 30 at 11:59 p.m.  Friends of the Festival is looking for all types of food vendors; however, those who showcase Chattanooga and the City’s collective cuisine will provide a special complement to the festival’s food offerings.

Friends of the Festival organizers said, “We enjoy working with food vendors that add so much to the culture and experience of Chattanooga.  Besides the great tastes and smells they bring to each of our events, they also remind us of the importance of supporting small business.  We can’t wait to hear from vendors interested in working with us.”
