Beale Street Music Festival - Memphis, TN
The Festival
3 days. 4 stages. Music from every genre and people from around the world. Sponsored by Budweiser and Coke, just to name a few, Music Fest is where you and your friends have to be the first weekend in May. With stars from Dave Matthews to Fergie, Music Fest is a definite party from the time the gates open Friday to the last band to play Sunday afternoon.
And, don’t forget the world-famous Beale Street, the namesake of the party. Take your friends up the street to bars like B. B. King’s and Pat O’Brien’s and be sure to get a diver at Silky O’Sullivan’s. Hotels, restaurants, bars and music all within walking distance also mean no cabs. Does it get any better?
