Memphis and Graceland go hand in hand.  You can’t visit Memphis without going to the King’s mansion.  Both are beautiful.  If you are a fan of the king, you will be amazed at the magnificence of this mansion.  You will be able to tour the home and see how Elvis lived when he was alive.  See his dining room, TV room and even witness where he played pool when he was home.  If you want to go to the Meditation Garden and visit his grave site, it will be a fulfilling and emotional experience.  See where he and his family have been laid to rest.

After visiting Graceland and witnessing how fabulous the king lived, you may want to go where another king has been.  BB King, along with James Brown and Ray Charles has all graced the Beale Street Music Festival.  This festival goes on all month during May and is called Memphis in May.  Juneteenth is another part of the Memphis music festivals.  This Freedom Festival celebrates gospel and blues music.  If you like music, great talent and good food, be sure to plan your vacation during the time of year that you can catch some great acts.
