Looking for something fun to do this weekend?
Whether you're looking for live music, family-friendly activities, outdoor adventures, great food, or simply an excuse to get out of the house, there is plenty happening around Memphis and the surrounding suburbs this weekend.
And honestly, after the week we've had, getting outside sounds pretty good.
The biggest event in town may very well be the grand opening of the Memphis Flyway at Tom Lee Park.
Officially opening on Friday, June 12, the Flyway is a 220-foot elevated walkway that takes visitors through the tree canopy and out toward the Mississippi River, offering incredible views of the river and downtown Memphis. It's quickly becoming one of the most unique attractions on the riverfront.
If you haven't visited Tom Lee Park since its renovation, this is the perfect excuse. Grab your walking shoes, your camera, and prepare for some incredible photo opportunities.
