Cooper Young Festival
It’s a gathering of the tribes and the day to celebrate the uniqueness of a neighborhood. Cooper-Young is more than just a center of restaurants and shops, it’s an urban oasis of freethinkers, academics, artists and just regular folks of all kinds. Every September, the Cooper-Young Festival (the largest one-day festival in the Memphis area) brings together the artists, musicians, artisans, crafters, community organizers, and freaks that make the Midtown area such a great place to live. The festival was started as a way to build community pride, but it has evolved into a cross between an outdoor music festival, a reunion, and a swap meet. Between the fine fall weather—and fall is the reward you get for living through the Memphis summer—the great food and unbeatable musical lineup, it’s the most fun you can have with your pants on. Be sure to be there this year on September 19.
