Bordering Mississippi and Arkansas is the city of Memphis, Tennessee. The home of the blues, the iconic Memphis music scene is a mainstay in this Delta city. Memphians and tourists alike can be found any night of the week enjoying the lively street scene of Beale Street Memphis. Once the heart of the blues and gospel music industry, the Beale Street district in Downtown Memphis is full of many of the city’s cultural, entertainment and historic attractions.

Within just a few blocks of one another are landmark attractions Memphis like B.B. King’s restaurant and club on Beale Street (where B.B. himself has been known to step up to the mike on more than one occasion), Orpheum Memphis, a grand old theater where live productions and Broadway caliber shows are staged throughout the year and Sun Studio, where musical greats like Elvis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison and Jerry Lee Lewis once recorded.

A highly anticipated yearly Memphis event is the Memphis in May festival. A month-long celebration of music and food, the highpoint is the world class barbeque competition, featuring award-winning Memphis BBQ and competitors from across the county. Another annual event is the Cooper-Young Festival, held each fall in the artsy Memphis Midtown neighborhood. Featuring food, music and art, this popular event draws huge crowds each year.

And of course what would a Memphis vacation be without a trip to the home of the King of Rock and Roll? Elvis Presley’s Graceland is a Memphis institution and an incredibly popular tourist attraction. Christmas is a special time at Graceland Memphis, when thousands of twinkling blue lights illuminate the landscape.
