Montgomery is home to all things soulful, savory and funky. Our historic riverfront, and its “High Red Bluff,” has been the epicenter of it all since the Native Americans known as the Alibamu Creeks began thriving here centuries ago. In 2022 a positive, celebratory and restorative new chapter on this hallowed ground began with the creation of Red Bluff Bar at The Silos, which has become an equitable common space for locals from across all parts of town, and tourists from across the world, to meet nightly and celebrate all that is great about Montgomery. From our city’s historic legacy of music, art and food, to our gracious and hospitable good nature, southern charm, and sense of humor, you’ll find it all nightly at Red Bluff Bar. All of this and more will be on full display during our second annual Red Bluff Music, Art & Food Festival. Please join us for a real good time for the whole family!
