2021 MEMPHIS IN MAY, MUSICFEST, BBQFEST will not be in the Tom Lee Park.
UPDATE: Friends (and all who care about Memphis in May Music Fest and BBQ Fest and our parks remaining open to public): We just had a meeting today, Sunday 8/19/2019, with many community leaders who want the City to: 1. Stop Mediation (secret, private mediation involving the public's park and festival), 2. Get the City council and Mayor to stop the unrealistic plans the incompetent RDC/MRPP have for Tom Lee Park (and no plans at all for Mud Island) 3. Understand that if this goes through, Memphis In May is gone in 2021 and possibly for good.
Can our Hotels and Downtown Memphis Businesses survive if Memphis In May leaves? This is REAL!!! This is a real estate play and possibly a ploy for private development on our RIVERFRONT! GET THE WORD OUT! This is not what you think. If you don't realize, this is really going to happen and we need people to wake up before it is too late! Please like our Memphis-WAKE UP. Save Memphis In May, Riverside Dr. and Tom Lee Park and Save Tom Lee Park & The Festivals Facebook pages and READ, Share, comment, discuss.
We will have a website soon (coming) where we will be posting financial information--some of it very disturbing. We need people to: 1. get up to speed on this, 2. write City Council 3. Sign the petition (change.org, Tom Lee Park) 4. Talk to everyone you know about it and SHARE on social media. If anyone wants to know more, I'm happy to help. This is unreal that we are even talking about losing Memphis In May......PLEASE SHARE. Thank you!
