Plan your #Soultrip to Memphis for fall's best experiences, from signature events like Mempho Music Festival and the Southern Heritage Classic to Halloween celebrations and the Overton Park Shell Free Concert Series.

Save the date for Memphis' top events and festivals this season, whether you're here for fall break, Mempho Music Fest or Halloween. Join rock 'n' rollers at Wiseacre Brewing Company for Gonerfest 22 or a sea of festivalgoers at Cooper-Young Fest, the biggest one-day fest in Tennessee. Sports fans will flock to FedExForum to see Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies take on the NBA's best this season. Plus, we've got music festivals and foodie feasts you won't want to miss.

Of course, Memphis always offers a dynamic food (and drink) scene, especially for delicious nights out savoring cocktails and award-winning dishes. By day, experience iconic attractions, like Memphis Zoo and legendary music landmarks. Explore quirky stops that give you a different way to experience the city than ever before. And check out these hotel and attraction deals to sweeten your stay.
