Cooper Young Festival. How I love you so. You might be getting too big for your britches though…read more This year was by far the busiest I have ever seen it. We got there about noon and parked .81 miles away from the entry point on the south side by the Tabernacle. When we left at 4:00 or so, the streets were lined miles further away than we were. It was really kind of crazy how many where there. I am sad to say I didn't find a damn thing other than food and beer to buy this year. Not a damn thing. I already have all of the shit that peaked my interest. My wife did want a painting for my kid, but hesitated and said she would come back for it. When we got back, it was gone and she was bummed. We talked to the artist about commissioning a new piece, so maybe. It was the best piece of art in the festival. I should have just bought it myself when we liked it. I'll be back next year, hope someone with some nice art will tempt me. Just a heads up, snack wise.... Stick Em' food truck and Butterific cookies for the win no matter m what here. For real.

The parking was bad. I think we parked almost 2 miles away. So many booths yet not many food options. Guess I expected a lot of options. I did however find something great, a place called Wild Bills. The place sold sodas in tin mugs with unlimited refills. We bought the barrel mug for 15 bucks and we probably refilled it 6-7 times. Easily got my money back with those refills. Overall we had a good time.

The event was enjoyable as always. My only issue was the tiny number of food vendors. Two of the…read moreseven or so were "funnel cakes." It's sad that an event so large had such a tiny variety of food and drink choices. At noon on Saturday the lines were 25 or 30 people deep. This was my last trip.

There are So many things to observe, and the Artists' genius is seen in every craft, Delightful. We were hooked when we first started going about 5 or so years ago, we look forward to it annually. It runs around my birthday so we've made it a CELEBRATION, MUST! I Must have a T Shirt, get my home grown honey, (tasty!), got some earrings my granddaughter purchased for me- a very light see through delicate intricate drop pattern, got some scented homemade soaps, to name a few of the things from just last year! And the MUSIC. Sometimes when I want to rest, I Park myself in a seat, and am mesmerized with a LIVE Band Performance!

You pay an entry fee (by the way, buy your ticket the day before as it will be five to $10 cheaper), visit the tent of one of the teams, donate a buck or two and they'll give you a wing or three. The proceeds go to the charity. You're free to donate more as I believe the highest donations indicate the "winner". Not sure why some of my favorite commercial establishments (D'Bos) don't participate, but there were a few names that I recognized which have food trucks. The tents with lines generally indicate the more popular groups, but don't let that be the only criteria for choosing. This year my favorite wings belonged to a group that didn't have a line and was right next to one of those more popular groups.

Leaving festival-goers with a wonderful experience Memphians & visitors alike will remember for a lifetime that they'll return next year for another wonderful experience. When it comes to Festivals in the Memphis area i've always enjoyed The Memphis Italian Festival compared to Music Fest & a variety of others which seem to offer very little or nothing in entertainment value. This is the one festival I look forward to every year as I enjoy the games vendors, food, family & fun every last weekend in May. Whenever I attend festivals such as the Memphis Italian Festival. I'm always going around to each vendor & see what each vendor offers. I'm always left amazed discovering a vendor that I've never heard about before. The vendors I discovered in years past I still shop with some of them or refer them by word of mouth like here on Yelp or social media outlets. What also impresses me being & is a highlight for me would be the cooking demos & every year they start out with last year's sauce winners who'll do a cooking demo of their favorite Italian dish. When the demonstration is over audience members get to sample what was cooked by the cooking team. When the cooking team is done they'll be a local restaurant ready to give the audience a demonstration of their dish. The chefs from the restaurant that are representing will show everyone how they cook their appetizers or entrees. After they've finished showing the audience on how they made their dish everyone gets to sample what was cooked & enjoy it. The biggest closer to a majority of Festivals would be the bands they've asked to perform for festival-goers. Every year Memphis Italian Fest will always have a big name band perform at the end of the night closing out the festival. This year's band happened to be Ingram Hill & I thoroughly enjoyed the show as they're my favorite band. Every year is hit or miss when it comes to the music acts but for the past 3 years I've enjoyed Gin blossom Train and of course Ingram Hill. That's just a small variety of what is offered & I would recommend to anyone looking for a simple inexpensive ($10-$15 admission) festival to attend. This would be the festival to enjoy with your family and friends. I have thoroughly enjoyed it every year regardless of what some yelpers on here had to say comparing it to other festivals in a unfair comparison. I would like to say in closing enjoy the festivities & make memories with others around you to remember for a lifetime Be sure to like Memphis Italian Festival on FB and tell a friend. https://www.facebook.com/MemphisItalianFestival/

Between the music, dancing, vendors, contests, and FOOOOOOD, I wanted to spend the whole weekend here. Yeah, it might rain, but this is Memphis and it is May...so you kinda expect it...and deal with it. Plus, it gives you the chance to wear those cute rain boots you bought for 50% off that one time. If you haven't been, you're missing out so remedy it ASAP. Go ahead and put it on your calendar since it only happens ONCE A YEAR!!!!
