Beale Street Music Festival is a three-day celebration of music held in Tom Lee Park on the banks of the Mississippi River in Memphis, Tennessee. As the opening event of Memphis in May, the festival honors the city's deep musical heritage — blues, soul, rock, hip-hop, and gospel all share the stage. Drawing 100,000+ attendees, it features both legendary artists and rising stars. Past performers include Stevie Wonder, Jack White, and Wu-Tang Clan. The festival's Memphis setting is inseparable from its identity — you can feel the history of Beale Street, Sun Studio, and Stax Records in every performance.
