Although festival details and logistics are still waiting approval from the various safety and security organizations, we are going to begin collecting vendor interest submissions for this year’s festival. This is an open event – vendors outside of the normal Chattanooga Market community will be accepted, and all products suitable for a bluegrass music festival will be considered.
Naturally, we prefer small business and creator/maker products – but also recognize that some products that would be a great fit for the festival might be more commercially produced (for example, concert ear plugs might be desired by some patrons). The selection team will make those decisions as interest forms are received, in conjuction with the IBMA team and festival planners.
Emphasis will be given to products which would be a great fit for live bluegrass music. We want for all participants to succeed, so the products/booths selected need to ring of common sense.
To join our interest list, please visit https://chattanoogamarket.com/IBMA. The selection process will begin once the safety folks provide us with vendor capacities and relevant details.
