365 Things to Do in Memphis #238: Memphis Music and Heritage Festival

Ed. Note: The Memphis Music & Heritage Festival is on hiatus for 2018. 2019 information will be updated as soon as it becomes available.

Every Labor Day weekend, downtown Memphis throws a big music and arts festival on Main Street, and even though it's been around for more than 20 years, it still feels like a bit of a secret. Assignment #238 in the 365 Things to Do in Memphis is to check out the Memphis Music and Heritage Festival.
