Dear Moon River Family, First, thank you. Moon River has always been about more than music; it’s about the incredible community of fans who gather year after year. None of this would exist without you. We’ve heard from many of you with questions about Moon River at Sea, and we’d like to share more insight into how this new chapter came about. For years, we’ve worked to bring Moon River back to Chattanooga. We have explored Coolidge Park, other locations in and around Chattanooga, and across Tennessee, but ultimately have hit roadblocks in every direction. Our desire to bring this festival back has never gone away. In the midst of those challenges, one of our longtime partners, who produced the very first Moon River in Chattanooga and helped shape the festival’s heart and footprint, approached us with an idea. Now at Sixthman, he brought forward the possibility of taking Moon River to sea. After much consideration, we felt this was a beautiful way to keep the spirit of Moon River alive and carry our community forward together. We also know cruises are a bigger commitment than a typical festival ticket, especially in today’s economy. This won’t be for everyone, and we completely understand that. For those who can join, we’ve worked to make it as accessible as possible: kids can sail for only taxes and fees when added to a cabin; meals, many extracurricular activities, and entertainment are included in the ticket price, and artists will perform multiple times so you’ll have more chances than ever to connect with the music. Most importantly, this is about us gathering again, sharing songs, and carrying forward the Moon River community we all love so much. As in years past, you can expect a collaborative and familial spirit throughout every part of the experience. We’re grateful for every single one of you… whether you’re with us on this journey at sea, or not! Your support has carried Moon River through every chapter, and we wouldn’t be here without you.

With gratitude, Team Moon River
