“This year marks the bicentennial of Memphis, and the city by the Mississippi has stepped up its game big time this summer with festivals, concerts, and food fests that stretch far beyond Beale Street all summer long. Of course, no trip to Memphis is complete without experiencing all things Elvis. That’s right people, Elvis Week is back August 9-17, so join the thousands of fans and impersonators and pay your respects to the King on the anniversary of his death. Another good time worth checking out is the Delta Fair, from August 30-September 8. Highlights include pig races, carnival rides, live music, and a daily banana derby. Come one come all”
