If you love music, then spending your summer going from music festival to music festival probably sounds like an excellent idea. But if you can’t afford the time (or the expense), then you may have to pick just one festival. If the festival you choose is the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee, then you’ll be sure to see one of the top music festivals that grace the summer calendar.
Once you’ve picked Bonnaroo, however, you’ve got some travel plans to make. (Unless, of course, you live in Manchester, in which case – lucky you.)
We’ve published a few articles on this site that will help you make all the travel plans you need to make in order to attend the Bonnaroo Festival. From the airports close to Bonnaroo that you can use to the other non-flying ways you can get to Bonnaroo, we’ve got you covered. And we’ve also got some tips that will help you save money on airfare regardless of where you’re going or when you’re flying, too.
>> Bonnaroo runs from June 7-12, 2012
As is the case with many summertime music festivals, getting to Bonnaroo involves a road trip for many people – but that’s certainly not the only way to get to Bonnaroo. Because the festival isn’t in the middle of a major city, however, your plans for how to get there need to be worked out ahead of time. Just getting off the plane at the Nashville airport and trying to organize transport when you get there probably isn’t going to work.
The popular Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival draws upwards of 80,000 people to a small town in central Tennessee – so one of the first orders of business if you’re planning a trip to the festival is finding out which airports are close by to figure out what your options are for getting there.
Did you know that the Grand Old Opry is the oldest continuous radio program in the United States? It is true. The G.O.O., as I like to call it, has been filling the airwaves in Nashville, Tennessee since 1925. When you think of Nashville you think of country music, but the music doesn’t just stop and end with music about women breaking hearts and feeling lower than a dog’s tail. Nashville has a vibrant and frankly awesome jazz scene. The city ain’t named Music City USA for nothing.
