Merry in Memphis

The Season Rocks in Memphis

Celebrate the holidays with blue Christmas lights, soulful music and traditions only the Bluff City could start.

Memphis does the holidays its own way. Elvis’ blue lights glow along the drive at Graceland, the Peabody ducks march past a towering Christmas tree, and Santa rocks his way down Beale Street. Drive through a brand-new Starry Nights, wander the Zoo’s glowing Lantern Festival, lace up your skates at Deck the Diamond and count down to the new year on the most famous street in the blues. With events running from early November through New Year’s Eve, there’s a holiday weekend for everyone. Start planning yours below.
