Beale Street Music Festival will not take place in 2024, Memphis In May says
SUMMARY: The Beale Street Music Festival will not take place in 2024, according to officials from Memphis In May. The decision was made due to significant financial losses in 2023, challenges in producing the festival in Tom Lee Park, and uncertainty surrounding a lawsuit filed against the festival. The World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest and the Great American River Run will still go on as planned. The festival reported a record financial loss of $3.48 million this year, and attendance for the Beale Street Music Festival and the barbecue contest was also significantly lower. The organizers are now exploring options for future events that meet the brand’s standards and authenticity.
