The usually mild weather in Memphis makes it a great place to visit throughout the year, but springtime has to be the best. The annual festival, ‘Memphis in May,’ is a month-long celebration bringing tourists from around the world. Each weekend in May has a special event. The Beale Street Music Festival, usually held during the first weekend, is a three-day concert event and with over sixty artists, there’s bound to be something for everyone. There is also a World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest. This event has a little bit of everything, live entertainment, barbecue and even a Ms. Piggie Contest. Now, who doesn’t love grown men in tutus? All of the events are located near downtown Memphis and along the Mississippi River.

Memphis is also a perfect place to enjoy outdoor activities and this city has plenty to offer. Visiting the Memphis Zoo or taking in a minor league baseball game at Autozone Park is great way to spend a day, but why not do something you can’t do at home? For instance, take the Monorail over the Mississippi River and visit Mud Island and the River Park. Here you can rent a pedal boat, bike or kayak down the great Mississippi. The park also offers the Mississippi River Museum as well as outdoor concerts and events.

Graceland is one of those ‘must-see’ activities everyone should do once in their life. The former home of Elvis Presley is a museum and the final resting place of the king, as well as an example of unbelievable opulence from the 70’s. A tour of the home includes the lower floor of the home featuring many rooms, such as the trophy room where many of the gold records are displayed and the infamous Jungle Room. The guide will take you from the home, outside to the gardens as well as the grave of the famous singer.
