Jfest FAQ's
What are some important times for me to know?
We will update times as we get closer to the festival.
When is my favorite artist going to be on stage?
*All times and artists subject to change*
Artist schedule is still being finalized.
Do I need to bring my own chair, tent or umbrella?
You will need to bring your own chair or blanket if you want to sit down on the grass, and we have a designated area for tents and umbrellas to set up for shade. Chairs with built in shade or personal umbrellas will need to be taken down during artist performances.
Is there free parking available for the festival?
There is free general admission parking available at Chattanooga State, with a shuttle that runs throughout the day. There is also a Premier Parking pass for a fee available that guarantees you a parking spot in the closest lot to the venue, with no need to get on a shuttle.
Is this a cash only event?
Most vendors are expected to have card machines, but it would be a good idea to have cash on hand. There will be NO ATM on the festival grounds.
Are we able to bring our own food and drinks?
We will have a variety of food options that should accommodate everyone, but with your wristband you are able to come and go from the festival grounds as you please. If needed, you may bring your own food and drinks.
Will there be gluten-free, vegetarian and other options for dietary restrictions?
We will have a variety of food options that should accommodate everyone, but with your wristband you are able to come and go from the festival grounds as you please. If needed, you may bring your own food and drinks.

Where is the Tennessee Riverpark and Jfest?
Jfest is off Amnicola Highway beside Chattanooga State Community College. You can park in the Chattanooga State parking lot (for free) and then take a shuttle or walk to the festival grounds.
What ages are included in the Kid's Wristband?
Jfest Kids Wristbands are for ages 5-11. Anyone ages 4 and under gets in free and is still welcome to play at Kidsworld as long as they fill out the waiver, but do not need a wristband for Jfest.
Is there handicapped parking available at Jfest?
Yes, handicapped parking will be available at the second entrance to the Riverpark (NOT the Chattanooga State entrance). You will need a handicap placard or tag displayed to park there.
Can we leave the festival and come back later?
As long as you have a Jfest wristband on, you can come and go as you please. Previous attendees without a wristband will not be permitted back into the festival.
When should I receive my wristbands in the mail?
Our Jfest team works very hard to make sure that you get your wristbands in a timely manner, while trying to keep up with the high volume. Please give our team 2-4 weeks to get your wristbands to you.
