What Do I Need to Know Before Going to Memphis?
You want to make sure that your Memphis in May experience is one that you can enjoy to the fullest. Following are our best planning tips for Memphis in May:
– Plan for Weather: For the most part, Memphis in the month of May is quite enjoyable. However, there are days where the heat and sun it can be quite warm. You need to make sure that you have sunscreen to protect your skin from a painful sunburn. On the flip side, it isn’t a bad idea to have a poncho or an umbrella in case you run into a rain storm. Along those same lines, you need to make sure that you are wearing comfortable clothing as well. If it does end up raining, make sure your shoes are ones that will still be comfortable and that you wouldn’t mind them getting dirty.
– Know What You’re Allowed to Bring In: Another thing that you need to think about is what you are and not able to bring into the festival. For instance, if you have a water bottle of 20 oz or less that is still factory sealed and unopened, you are more than welcome to bring that in. Any other outside food and drink is not permitted. It is highly encouraged to bring a blanket that you’re comfortable putting on the ground for a place to sit.
– Sign Up for the Newsletter: in the weeks leading up to Memphis in May, The Daily Memphian will publish a survivor’s guide all of the festivals events. This will include a map of Tom Lee Park’s Layout and parking. If you aren’t familiar with the event or the city, this might be worth subscribing to.
– Take Advantage of Lockers: There are lockers that will be available to store your personal belongings in, and it is highly recommended that you take advantage of them. It is a safe place to ensure anything you brought with you is kept safe.
