Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival Will Be a Feast for Your Ears and Your Mouth
You’re sure to eat, drink and be merry as you soak up the music at Pilgrimage!
Anyone who’s been paying attention knows that this year’s 5th Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival held September 21-22 at The Park at Harlinsdale in Franklin is going to be a musical extravaganza. From headliners like Keith Urban, Foo Fighters and The Killers to some other fantastic acts farther down the bill such as Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, Leon Bridges and Justin Townes Earle, it’s going to be a weekend of amazing performances.
But that’s not the only reason to buy tickets ASAP to be a part of Pilgrimage. There’s also going to be some amazing food spread across the festival grounds presented by some of Music City’s favorite restaurants and food trucks. The entire Pilgrimage experience is intended to be immersive, including food, drink, art and culture along with the music.
You won’t even have to miss the big games on Saturday or Sunday as the Bell’s Brewery Craft Beer Hall returns for the third year with the thoughtful addition of giant LED screens featuring NCAA and NFL programming all weekend long along with Bell’s fantastic brews. If you’re not a beer drinker, you can take advantage of some of Pilgrimage’s spirits partners, including Blue Chair Bay, George Dickel Tennessee Whisky, Hendrick’s Gin, Milagro Tequila and Tito’s Handmade Vodka for alternative beverages.
Come hungry, because Pilgrimage offers a plethora of great food options from local favorites like Burger Republic, Daddy’s Dogs, The Mac Shack, Funk Seoul Brother, Hoss’ Loaded Burgers, Jim ‘N Nick’s, Fruit Tea Chicks, Grilled Cheeserie, Puckett’s Grocery, Tennessee Cobbler Co. and Retro Sno. That’s not even half of the more than 40 vendors who will be on hand selling their wares, but typing all those names made us hungry so we had to take a break!
For the ultimate food, drink and music experience, take advantage of the luxe “Grand Champion Experience with Blackberry Farm.” Admittedly, those coveted two-day passes are pretty pricey, but if you want to be a big baller, they are now on sale at the festival website. The perks are pretty amazing, beginning with premium parking and cart transfer to and from the festival grounds.
