Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival and Blackberry Farm have teamed up to provide an elevated experience for festival goers that will take them beyond VIP 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. PRESS HERE for more info on passes.
In addition to all the amenities of the Pilgrimage and VIP Village passes, The Grand Champion Experience with Blackberry Farm features meet and greets with artists, farm-to-table bites from Blackberry Farm's Executive Chefs Cassidee Dabney and Sarah Steffan, a mixology experience that evolves through the day and stage-front viewing. Blackberry Farm will also host signature experiences such as 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 at this year's festival.
"We love sharing great music and incredible experiences with our guests," says 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."
"Every patron that comes through the gates of Harlinsdale Farm for Pilgrimage gets to experience the incredible music, art, food and beverages that this region has to offer," says co-producer Brandt Wood. "By teaming up with Blackberry Farm, we are able to bring the festival experience to a whole other level."

ABOUT BLACKBERRY FARM
In 1939, Mrs. Florida Lasier of Chicago snagged her silk stockings on a wild blackberry bramble while exploring the idyllic Smoky Mountain foothills, and the name Blackberry Farm was born. Forty years later, the Beall family invested their hearts and souls in the same romantic site that has become their family home and lifelong passion. Today, one of America's most celebrated intimate luxury hotels beckons discerning guests who aspire to escape modern-day frenzy and slip into a Blackberry state of mind. Situated on a pastoral 4,200-acre estate in the Great Smoky Mountains, Blackberry will show you the many reasons why it is one of the top-rated properties in the world.
ABOUT BLACKBERRY FARM MUSIC Blackberry Farm hosts a diverse music series that offers guests an intimate concert experience with the likes of legends, superstars and up-and-coming talents, all in an effort to raise funds for the Blackberry Farm Foundation. The Blackberry Farm Foundation supports local children and foodways-related causes. With indoor and outdoor amphitheater staging options, shows range from very intimate 30-person audiences to concerts of approximately 100-150 people in Bramble Hall. The format is completely up to the artist including acoustic sets or full band shows.
About The Pilgrimage Foundation
The Pilgrimage Foundation was established to develop, in conjunction with the Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival, a non-profit program whereby organizations that support the arts, artists, historic preservation and education may benefit from the growth of the festival. Each year several organizations will be chosen to participate and benefit from the festival in ways that include publicity, events, and donations.
