MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) -- Mark your calendars. The Memphis in May International Festival is back this fall!
The COVID-19 pandemic forced MIM organizers to postpone the annual May event.
Now the festival kicks off with the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest Sept. 30 through Oct. 3.
Beale Street Music Festival is Oct. 16 through 18.
Festival organizers say 42 of the 65 artists are still committed to performing at BSMF. They are still working to confirm the rest of the lineup.
Details about the Great American River Run will be announced later.
