Pilgrimage Festival And Blackberry Farm Offer New Grand Champion VIP Experience

The Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival and Blackberry Farm have teamed up to provide a special, elevated experience for festival goers with The Grand Champion Experience pass. This marks the first time that Blackberry Farm will take their staff and experiences outside the property to create a one of a kind partnership with Pilgrimage, which takes place Sept. 22-23 at The Park at Harlinsdale in Franklin, Tennessee.

The Grand Champion Experience will offer up meet and greets with artists, farm-to-table bites from Blackberry’s Executive Chefs Cassidee Dabney and Sarah Steffan, a mixology experience that evolves through the day, and stage-front viewing. Additional signature experiences will include Mediation Moments with Wellness Lifestyle Expert Hope Parks, Sabering School with Director of Food and Beverage Andy Chabot, Fly Fishing Lessons with Activities Manager Alex Quick, and more.

“We love sharing great music and incredible experiences with our guests,” said Mary Celeste Beall, Blackberry Farm Proprietor. “This partnership is a really exciting opportunity to bring a taste of the Farm off property and invite new friends to enjoy learning from our talented artisans.”

Passes are on sale now for the festival, which will include performances by Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds, Jack White, Chris Stapleton, Lionel Richie, Brandi Carlile, Counting Crows and more.
