Cooper-Young Festival

The street festival started at the intersection of Cooper and Young, in the heart of the neighborhood – but now covers complete city blocks, as more than 100,000 people crowd the neighborhood for this one-day event. An eclectic mix of art, music and crafts is what draws such a huge crowd, with over 400 artisans from around the country coming to Memphis to show and sell their wares including jewelry, home decor, foods and more. Music is an integral part of the day, with performances by local bands.
