Is this just an attempt to get someone else to fund what we already have (Nightfall)?

Great question!

Levitt AMP is not Nightfall. Nightfall is held at Miller Plaza.

The Levitt AMP music series will be held on the outside lawn at the Bessie Smith Cultural Center (BSCC). There is no fixed seating, ideal for people to bring blankets and chairs and easily interact with friends and strangers, fostering a sense of community. It is centrally located downtown in an urban district that is highly accessible by many diverse communities and the UTC campus. The location has parking, electricity and an inside stage in the event of rain.

Levitt AMP is designed to enhance, amplify, strengthen and expand Chattanooga's existing arts opportunities and utilization of public spaces.

Isn't there another free concert series that happens at Ross's Landing? No, I'm not talking about Riverbend.

It's called Riverfront Nights. It's page said it has been around for 10 years. I think it runs from July through August.
