Memphis In May Vendors
Thank you for your interest in vending at the 44th Memphis In May International Festival.
Our annual month-long festival includes two ticketed events. In 2022, Beale Street Music Festival & the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest will be held in midtown at the Memphis Fairgrounds because of construction in Tom Lee Park. We’ll be back on the river in 2023!
NOTE: Merchandise vendors must comply with any and all COVID safety protocols as required by Memphis in May.
