Go on a water recreation adventure with Ghost River Canoe and Kayak Rentals. Follow the well-marked canoe trail in the Wolf River. This 8.5-mile trail includes many turns, beautiful cypress, wildlife sightings, a trip through Spirit Lake and the mystic Ghost Section. Located about half an hour outside of Memphis, this part of the river is great for more experienced paddlers but not recommended for beginners.
Catch a local band playing at the Hi-Tone Cafe. Listen to rock and indie at one of the tables, or get up and get down on the dance floor. Hungry? This little nightlife venue serves up a mean pizza in addition to some great brews. Play some pool or even ping pong in between band sets.
Party away the month of May. Join residents as they celebrate Memphis in May, a month-long festival featuring four main events: the Beale Street Music Festival, International Week, the World Championship Barbeque Cooking Contest and the Sunset Symphony. Bring the family out for awesome music, delicious food and Memphis heritage.
