A Huge List of 2025 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, festivals, and shows that only scratch the surface of things to do in Memphis this year. I'll add on to the list as things get announced, so keep this page bookmarked and check back regularly.
