Beale Street Music Festival and the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest will call Liberty Park home next year.
Memphis in May’s (MIM) usual home, Tom Lee Park, is under construction for a $60-million makeover. The project is slated to wrap before the MIM events in 2023.
Music Fest is now planned for April 29th-May 1st. Barbecue Fest is planned for May 11th-14th.
Liberty Park was selected “because of its unique size, uninterrupted layout, existing infrastructure, and the public’s familiarity as a long-time entertainment location.” Barbecue Fest was moved to the site in 2011 during the flood on the Mississippi River.
