Memphis

There's nowhere quite like Memphis, Tennessee — the birthplace of rock 'n' roll and home of the blues. Things to do in Memphis include diving into the city’s rich musical heritage with a trip down Beale Street, cheering on the Memphis Grizzlies and Tigers at energetic home games, or feasting on Memphis-style barbecue. And Memphis in May — a month-long celebration featuring the Beale Street Music Festival, the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest and more — and Carnival Memphis are the kinds of can’t-miss Memphis events the city is famous for hosting.
