Your Weekend Guide to Manchester

This weekend in Manchester, Tennessee brings 1 live events across the city — from comedy. Here's what's on.

Manchester is a Coffee County farm town that hosts one of the defining American music festivals: Bonnaroo, which transforms a 700-acre farm into a temporary city of tens of thousands every June. Since 2002, the Farm has hosted four days of music across every genre, all-night sets, comedy tents, and a camping culture whose radiate-positivity ethos has shaped a generation of festivalgoers. The event so dominates the town's identity that the interchange off I-24 carries festival traffic signs. The rest of the year, Manchester returns to small-town rhythms — but every summer, for one long weekend, it is the center of the music world.
