What is the Meaning Of Bonnaroo?

If you’re a music lover, then likely you have heard of Bonnaroo. This four-day music and arts festival is one of the most popular in the United States, attracting thousands of fans from around the world each year.

The festival takes place in Manchester, Tennessee, on a 700-acre farm that is transformed into a vibrant, bustling city of music, art, and culture. Each year, Bonnaroo brings together some of the biggest names in music, as well as emerging artists, to create a diverse and exciting lineup that appeals to a wide range of tastes.

But what is the meaning of the word Bonnaroo?

The festival’s name comes from the Creole word “bonne” (meaning good) and the French word “roux” (meaning red), which together mean “good red.” The festival’s founders chose the name to represent the spirit of the festival, which they wanted to be a positive, vibrant, and inclusive experience for everyone who attended.

But others have reported that the Cajun word means “a really good time.” (There are a number of other “meanings” as well.)

Next Bonnaroo is June 15-18 2023.
