Because Memphis is music, year-round festivals include the international Memphis in May and the band-heavy Beale Street Music Festival.  With pro and college sports, acclaimed art exhibits, touring museum shows and even mega shopping extravaganzas, Memphis struts its stuff no matter what the season. 

After a day of activities, relax and check out some of the live music on Beale Street and other music venues around the Home of the Blues and the Birthplace of Rock 'n' Roll.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Downtown Memphis comes alive  as the Memphis Music & Heritage Festival returns to Downtown Memphis. In the past, 30,000+ people enjoyed two days and five stages of the best music, art, crafts, cooks, heritage talkers and storytellers the Memphis/Mid-South region has to offer - and this year should be even better!

The late Jim Dickinson was a good friend of the Center for Southern Folklore and a perennial performer at the Memphis Music & Heritage Festival. With his typical naked and perceptive honesty he summed up the Festival and its executive producer, Judy Peiser, thusly: "Judy's a curious person. To her, Memphis music - whether it's blues or punk or rap or gospel - is all the same. Imagine if you took this festival to Paris. People would bow down and worship it."
- Jim Dickinson, from A World of Our Own by Andria Lisle, Memphis Flyer

This year’s festival will celebrate Memphis musical legend Jim Dickinson with a t-shirt and poster designed by the artist Gray and performances by Hill Country Revue (featuring son Cody Dickinson) and former bandmates Sid Selvidge & Jimmy Crosthwait. Other performers include: Bobby Rush, Kate Campbell, Sonny Burgess and the Pacers, Joyce Cobb, Smoochie Smith Trio, Hickory Withe Bluegrass, Blind Mississippi Morris, Free World, Eden Brent, Los Contadores, Star & Micey, Bluff City Backsliders, Eddie Bond and many more still to be announced!
