Beale Street Music Festival

Beale Street in Memphis, TN is known as the Home of the Blues and the Beale Street Music Festival, which takes place yearly in May is an homage to the city's musical heritage. The three-day festival kicks off the city's month-long Memphis in May celebration and draws over 100,000 music fans with an incredibly diverse lineup of bands. The largest acts are featured on four stages in Tom Lee Park, where Beale Street meets the Mississippi River, but revelers spill onto Beale Street itself as well, where you'll find street performances and live acts in just about every restaurant or club along the iconic street, well into the night.
