Things To Do In Memphis Tennessee

There is a song in the 90’s by a singer that loved Memphis, it goes like this, “Then I’m walking in Memphis, walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale…Walking in Memphis, but do I really feel the way I feel.” The singer must have really enjoyed the city, and so would you, since you’ll know in a bit why the place is such a big attraction.

Memphis In Tennessee is situated on the northern part of the Mississippi. A big city like Memphis has a lot of sights that are interesting to people who visit. Among these is the Mud Island River Park and Museum, where you can enjoy cruising, rafting and boating. If however a leisure Phentermine 37.5 bicycle ride is more your style, you can rent bicycles and ride around the River Walk and the Mississippi River.

The River Walk is actually a replica of the actual lower Mississippi River. It’s unique and fascinating in that every 30″ stride is the same as one mile of the actual River. The replica also has all the complete details of the real thing including the cities, landmarks and bridges along the river banks.

The Mississippi River Museum is interesting to history buffs and there are historical sites that you can visit. Adults and children alike will enjoy the Memphis Aquarium which has six large aquariums, all filled with various river creatures. Have you ever seen a life size replica of popular mode of transportation in Mississippi? Namely a large steamboat? Well you’ll get to see one at the River Museum.

There are camp sites for those who enjoy camping right in Memphis. For barbeque lovers out there, The Elvis Presley Boulevard has the best food Memphis has to offer and is close to “Home of the Blues and the birthplace of Rock n’ Roll”, Mississippi River RV Park (located also at the Elvis Presley Blvd.) and if you want to be near the famous Beale Street, 8 miles from there is the Graceland KOA Campground.

Memphis would not be what it is without its many attractions. Every year all sorts of celebrations take place to commemorate various festivals. There are many festivals that are celebrated in Memphis, from the Carnival Memphis that celebrates the local industry, an Italian Festival, an art competition that attracts various artists from other states called the Cooper Young Festival, the annual celebration of the King Of Rock And Roll and other festivals that are too many to mention.

One festival that attracts huge crowds is the Memphis International Festival in May. Four main events will take place at the festival: the Beale Street Music Festival (the three-day musical event that kicks off the Memphis in May), the International Week (aims to expose the youth to different cultures from around the world), the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest (the largest barbecue competition in the world), and the Sunset Symphony (the closing event where the Memphis Symphony Orchestra performs).

As you know by now, a visit to Memphis is inspiring for a vacation. We should know how the singer feels about Memphis…
