I wish the Memphis and May committee would rethink this and have a corporate sponsored, televised, concert instead. I have no doubt that ABC, NBC, Fox, or CBS would jump at the idea of airing a two hour musical event. It would shine the spotlight on Memphis, and open the door for future televised events, while offering an alternative for the in person music fest. There could also be a spotlight on the BBQ Championship too. It's way past time to take this event to another level and stop being mediocre.

I just drove down Riverside and wondered where it would be next year. I think this is the best option and it make sense, especially for BSMF. The music festival has roots at the fairgrounds, from when the Cotton Carnival was there. Thanks for the info, ILM!

How many outdoor music stages are there at any time during Memphis in May?  Is there a way to get a map of all the outdoor stages and/or venues? Thanks

Hi Mitchell,

There are usually three big stages and one blues tent. It may be different this year. Memphis In May (the event organizers) will share a map with stage info closer to the event. You can keep up with them at memphisinmay.org - scroll down to the "Get The Latest News" section and put in your email for email updates or follow them on social media! We'll also update our readers here, of course.
