Stop by The Cooper-Young Festival for live music all day long. Bands play everything from classic blues and rock to alternative and indie music. This popular outdoors market and arts festival draws out the best local and regional talent. Buy locally made clothes, jewelry, art, pottery and other textiles from vendors, as well as delicious food from local restaurants.
Walk along the scenic Riverwalk or take a ride on the Monorail at Mud Island River Park, home to plenty of attractions and Memphis's own Adventure Center-the best place to get out and be active within the city. Rent a bike to explore the trails and surrounding area, or take a canoe or kayak out on the river. Learn about the history of the Lower Mississippi Valley at Mud Island's Mississippi River Museum.
Go Tigers! Go! Get ramped up for the University of Memphis Tigers. The Memphis Tigers consist of nine women's sports teams and nine men's, including baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, rifle, soccer, tennis, track and field and volleyball. Wear blue and grey, and come out to support the local college sports teams.
