Live Music
Live Music Under Open Skies
Good Friends is all about the music. Local, regional, and nationally touring acts take the stage across multiple venues, filling the Tennessee air with rock, soul, country, blues, and everything in between. Pull up a chair or dance under the stars. This is live music the way it was meant to be.
Community
Good Friends, Great Times
Whether you're catching up with old friends or making new ones, the festival runs on good vibes, warm smiles, and the kind of community you don't find just anywhere. It's not just a name. It's what this whole thing is about.
Vendors & Food
Local Eats, Local Makers
Local food trucks and artisan vendors line the grounds with handmade goods, craft drinks, and flavors straight from Middle Tennessee. There's always something new to discover and someone new to meet behind every stand.
Free Admission
Always Free, Always Welcome
Good Friends is free to attend, and always will be. No tickets, no gates, no barriers. Made possible by the generosity of local sponsors, donors, and volunteers, this festival exists because people believe in bringing their community together through music. Just show up and enjoy.
Family & Pet Friendly
Bring the Whole Fam
Everyone's welcome at Good Friends. With a laid-back atmosphere, open green spaces, and something to enjoy at every age, this is the kind of day out the whole family can share. Leashed pets are always part of the crew.
