Brianna here. I grew up in Memphis, TN, a city where local pride runs strong and delicious food, rich history, and lots of fun run rampant.
If you’re ready to board the plane, touch down in the land of the Delta Blues, and start walkin’ in Memphis, check out some of my pro tips for enjoying the city.
Why go?
Memphis is known for its major Bs — barbecue, blues, and Beale Street. Whether you’re a foodie on the hunt for fantastic southern eats, interested in Memphis’ history and music scene, or hoping for exciting nightlife, this is the spot for you.
Don’t miss Memphis’ major annual happening, Memphis in May, which hosts some of the city’s largest events of the year like Beale Street Music Festival + the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest.
