A Huge List of 2023 Memphis Events, Festivals, and Shows

A Huge List of 2023 Memphis Festivals & Events

My least favorite thing to hear from people is "there's nothing to do in Memphis". Because it's so untrue! 

Here's a big list of major events that only scratches the surface of things to do in Memphis this year. I'll add on to the list as things get announced. 

Take a look at our guide to Memphis Food and Drink Festivals.

Do some Memphians really not know how lucky they are to live in such a vibrant city? Wow. Cannot wait to return.
