Celebrating Montgomery’s Rich Cultural Legacy

Red Bluff Music, Arts & Food Festival is Montgomery’s newest premier cultural event held each May by Vintage Hospitality Group at Riverwalk Amphitheater along the city's historic waterfront. Drawing in performers and music enthusiasts far and wide, our music venue, Red Bluff Bar at the Silos, has evolved into a lively communal hub for our entire community to revel in the greatness of Montgomery.

We honor Montgomery's rich musical legacy by featuring top-tier artists influenced by blues, country, jazz, and the soulful Southern sounds of our region. The annual festival brings in prominent musical talents of the year while also spotlighting local and regional bands, as well as visual and culinary artists. Our deep affection for Montgomery and unwavering belief in its future drive us to enhance cultural opportunities for River Region citizens, and our aim is to unite the city over a shared love of music, food and the arts.
