Want to party on a Memphis rooftop? The Peabody Hotel is where you need to be. For more than 80 years, the historic downtown hotel has been throwing legendary rooftop parties every spring and summer.

Named among the "Top 10 Rooftop Bars" and repeatedly voted "Best Pick Up Joint" by the Memphis Flyer, Peabody Rooftop Parties are a Memphis summer tradition. Here's everything you need to know before you go.

When are the 2026 Peabody Rooftop Parties?

Every Thursday night from April 16 through August 13, 2026. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the party runs until 10 p.m.

How much do Peabody Rooftop Party tickets cost?

General admission is $15 per person. VIP seating is $40 and available on a first-come, first-served basis — the VIP area includes an assortment of appetizers served from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Hotel guests get in free before 7 p.m. Tickets are available at the door (no advance online sales). Please note: all events are cashless, and tickets are non-refundable.

Is there an age requirement?

Yes. All Peabody Rooftop Parties are strictly 21 and up, no exceptions.

Is there food and drinks?

Drinks and food are available for purchase at the event. VIP ticket holders also receive appetizers from 7–9 p.m.

What happens if it rains?

If the weather doesn't cooperate, the band and party move indoors to the Skyway Ballroom, also located on the Rooftop Level. Tickets are non-refundable regardless of weather.

What's the vibe like?

Think live bands, DJs, cold drinks, and one of the best sunset views over the Mississippi River in Memphis. Whether you're single and ready to mingle or looking for a fun date night, the rooftop is the place to kick off your weekend.

Where do I park for the Peabody Rooftop Party?

The Peabody has its own parking garage with the entrance at 118 South 2nd Street (one block from the hotel). Self-parking is $28 and valet is $37. If you want to save a few bucks, there are several nearby lots and garages within a short walk — some as low as $2–$4 for evening parking, including the Peabody Place Tower Garage and One Commerce Square Garage. You can also reserve a spot in advance through apps like SpotHero. EV charging stations are available in the valet parking area.

Pro tip: If you're a hotel guest, you can drop your bags with the valet attendant before parking your car in the self-parking garage.
