Memphis is pretty much a year-round destination, though May should be a nice time to visit before the summer heat and humidity really kick in. Not sure what age your kids are, but the easy-to-remember Memphis in May International Festival features a roster of artistic events including the Beale Street Music Festival (April 30-May 2; lineup includes bands like Widespread Panic, Alice in Chains, and Puddle of Mudd), a BBQ contest (May 13-15), and a Sunset Symphony for the grownups (May 29).
