Before you finalize your plans for Labor Day weekend, plan on staying here in Memphis, or visiting Memphis and enjoying the 23rd Annual Memphis Music and Heritage Festival.  It’ s a 2 day festival, September 4 and 5 (the Saturday and Sunday before Labor Day).

Enjoy music, dance, food, and storytelling that reflects the many facets of  the culture of the Mid-south.  Four stages plus demonstration areas.  I’ll keep you posted as events are finalized, but at the time of this post the following musical guests have confirmed:

Bobby Rush Kate Campbell Hill Country Revue

Smoochy Smith Trio      Sonny Burgess and the Pacers

Hickory Withe Bluegrass      Jason D Williams

Sid Selvidge & Jimmy Crosthwait

Los Cantadores      Star & Micey       Bill Stanek

And that’s just for starters.  More artists will be announced right up until the festival dates, so stay tuned.

The Memphis Music and Heritage Festival is produced by the Center for Southern Folklore, with the support of many generous donors.  The festival is FREE, but your support in any amount will be greatly appreciated.
