Great venue...and so nice to be outside and listening to "live" music again with real people around…read moreyou!!! Event staff pleasant and efficient...no outside food or water allowed at this point...and they check! Seating currently is at half capacity...which is cool. Food trucks and 3 bars that i noticed (limited drink menu but covers the basics with one "speciality" drink)...event could benefit from a little more food truck variety in the cuisine-last night there were 3/4 "mexican variation"...nothing really "lite" plate... minimal if at all, veg or vegan. Soundcheck...we were "front row"...a little too close to really be a valid judge...it was great...but vocals sometimes got lost in the instruments from where i sat - not an accoustic critique at all so you know. Parking was the bomb...honestly, i was having heart palpitations driving over...been to these things before where you cannot get out sometimes until "everyone" leaves and its dark thirty and your car finally frees up...NOT the case here...beautifully executed...in and out was easy / breezy!! Music there has a hard stop at 9:30...its an enjoyable early summer evening of entertainment and fresh air...in "the garden". So plan ahead...Great Summer line-up, get your tickets today

Memphis Botanic Garden is already my top Memphis attraction (how strange is it we go to a city to…read moresee what it could look like without a city?) "Live at the Garden" is equally great! This was the first time attending a show. Dennis DeYoung of STYX fame (another Chicagoan, just gotta' say) put on an incredible show, made even better by the garden surroundings and fireworks. We purchased the "Lawn" tickets, a real bargain as large screens provide a great view. The sound system was high quality at comfortable levels. As you would expect, not a rowdy crowd. In my estimate most qualified for an AARP membership, not a bad thing though. These people are experts at living (you will likely see your dentist in the crowd for example) I always mocked whatever GM vehicle, road-tripping past me on the Interstate with a "hanging clothes bar" across the vacant back seat; then I got one, these people are GENIUSES! Apologies for the life experience tangent. Suuuuper laid back. Coolers full of snacks and adult beverages are welcome inside after an inspection. We went to Memphis' new Trader Joe's (finally) and loaded up on treats. If you have a cooler with wheels, or a wagon, bring it for the long walk. Folding chairs, blankets, insect repellent, sunscreen, some had little battery operated fans to stay cool. If you don't feel like carrying in food and drinks, vendors are on site to sell everything you need. Parking was free (check the maps re: the lot locations). TIP: Back into your parking space, makes it easier to get out, and farther is better, as you are nearer the exit. Hope to catch another show here! Approved!

I absolutely enjoyed the Memphis Labor Council Picnic! The vibe was amazing, the Overton Park Shell…read morewas the perfect space, and the local performers did exactly what Memphis is known for--GREAT MUSIC! The energy was incredible, and I loved seeing local talent represented. Atmosphere for all AGES! There was also plenty of free food--burgers, hot dogs, bologna, smoked sausage, spaghetti, potato salad, slaw, and more. Since I don't eat meat, my options were basically potato salad and slaw, so I would love to see a few more meatless options at future events. My only real complaint was the HEAT! Whew! August in Memphis from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. is HOT. I would definitely suggest moving the hours earlier in the morning or later in the afternoon/evening next year. Other than the heat, I loved every bit of it. Great music, great people, great atmosphere, plenty of food, and an awesome Memphis vibe. This was an amazing community event, and I would definitely attend again--just hopefully at a cooler time of day!

Elvis gave his first public performance here, and the summer concert series goes back generations. This is a family friendly activity make sure to fill the donation buckets to keep it going. Bring your chairs, blankets, it gets crowded early! There were some local food trucks, but some people bring their own food, Ravinia style. We loved the music program of pop hits going back a few decades, some symphony standards, and some singers gave us chills. Walkin' in Memphis with full singers? "What's Goin' On" with Symphony backing the score? Shell, Yeah!

We attended the Stars on Ice show on May 31…read more The attendants were pleasant and efficient; the seating was okay (I expect close quarters for a popular show), but the handrails were a safety obstacle.

Mud Island Amphitheater feels like one of those places where the echoes of music hang in the air…read morelong after the last chord fades. Tucked along the edge of the Mississippi River, it's got that worn-in, lived-in kind of charm--like it's seen decades of dancing, swaying, and summertime memories stitched together by guitars and city lights. Getting there is half the experience. You either walk the bridge or ride the monorail, and suddenly you're on this little river island with downtown Memphis glimmering behind you and the water drifting slow and wide in front. Then the amphitheater opens up--a humble, open-air stage with rows of concrete seats that somehow feel more personal than plush. It's not fancy. It's real. It's the kind of place where you don't just watch a show--you feel it. The music bounces off the river and wraps around the crowd, and whether you're there for blues, rock, or something in between, the view and the vibe do something to you. It's not about perfection. It's about presence. Sure, it could use a little love--maybe some renovations, maybe better concessions--but there's something beautiful about how it holds onto its soul. It's Memphis through and through: gritty, honest, and still singing.

Here they have the Mississippi River Museum that's open on Fridays and Saturdays from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Friday - Noon-4PM and Saturday - 10AM-4PM. Admissions are $10 Adults 12 & Over, $8 Children ages 4 to 11, Free for Children under 4. Mud Island Park is still open daily from dawn to dusk. Free and open to joggers, bikers, dog-walkers, etcm with summer hours - 6AM-8PM and winter hours - 6AM-6PM. The big draw her, beside the fireworks, is the 5,000 seat concert amphitheater. Access the Amphitheatre on foot from Island Drive or by walking across the skybridge from downtown which is open and can be accessed at 125 N. Front St. with tickets are sold by event on Ticketmaster. Paid parking available on the island or in the River Parks Garage. Entrance to the garage is at the corner of Front St. and Poplar. Fees range from $3-$10, depending on the event. We've watched the fireworks here but concerts are the reason we come here year after year. Our last show was James Taylor and it was terrific. The acoustics are quite nice and the view is outstanding but it gets pretty hot on the Mississippi in the summer so beware. The bathroom and booze lines are worse than most sports venues I've been to so that can be a bit of a problem but other than that, and the shclep across the bridge, it's a pretty cool place to see a show. Bottom line: it's uniquely Memphis!

When it comes to the bar area I feel like it could be expanded to accomdate more gamers who wish to be bar side & enjoy the entertainment up closer. With the popularity of the floor area it should be expanded for a actual dance floor & a expanded lounging area for others who just want to enjoy drinks. A small eats menu would definately be awesome to offer in with a expanded Stage 2 experience. As much as I love Goldstrike. It pains me to give this part of the casino a 4

Well, I hate doing two star reviews. This was definitely a night. I won't soon forget. When we…read morearrived, parking was horrible. The pay parking lot for Minglewood Hall was completely full. The pay lots all around minglewood hall were also full. We drove two blocks in each direction and was having trouble trying to find somewhere to park. We finally seen other people parking at a closed Baskin And Robbins, one street over. We didn't see any no parking signs. This was gonna be our only option. By the time we got parked and in line. It was getting very close to show time. There was a line out the door and it was moving very slow. They were having trouble scanning tickets. Their scanners were not working, so they were sending people to a window, to get paper tickets. We finally got in and seated. The show obviously started a little late. I have only been to Minglewood Hall one other time and my experience then was also less than stellar. The seating was just fold up chairs. They were so uncomfortable! A tallboy beer was $12! My son and I both love Brad Williams. I figured it would be a great to spend some time with him and see a good show. Although Brad Williams and his openers were great! This would turn out to be quite a bad night for us. When the show was over, we headed out to where we had parked. As we were getting close to the car, we seen about 20 other people. They were just standing aroung in the cold looking confused. At that point, we realized all the cars had been towed. In my opinion, this is why people don't come to Memphis for shows or anything. Way to much greed! The parking always sucks! Come to find out PB & J towing sits around the corner and waits on everyone to enter the show. Then they start towing people. If you do a quick search for them on here, you will see that they are very predatory in their practice. They have been sued and reprimanded by the BBB. I'm not sure how a place like this continues to do business in Memphis. That will be for another upcoming review. I know this is not completely Minglewood Hall's fault. But if you know, you don't have enough parking for the amount of sold tickets. You should try to work with your neighbors or warn people. I mean, come on, it was a Sunday night! The Baskin-Robbins was closed. We looked around and finally seen two very small signs on the other side of the lot that just said PB & J towing with a number. When you call the number, it just goes to a voicemail or disconnects. They are closed on Sundays! We had to Uber all the way back to Southaven, Mississippi. The Uber driver told us this is a every weekend thing. He picks people up all the time from PB&J towing in this area. Needless to say, I won't be going back to Minglewood Hall for anything. This ended up being a very expensive night!

My wife got us tickets to see Gary Owen because she knows how much I love seeing him. The show was absolutely great and she picked some very good seats. I did feel like he cut the show just a little short. There's always that one drunk person that wants to yell out from the crowd. I think it was starting to irritating. What can you say about the orpheum? That hasn't already been said. It's a very nice historical place. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars. Is because like everyone else, they take advantage of people on concessions. I realized back in the day. This is the way places made their money. It's a little different these days. They make plenty of money on the shows. My other small complaint is the seating. Although its way better than Minglewood Hall, the seats are just too close together. I'm a big fella, and it's just very uncomfortable. Overall, they put on great shows and the place is very nice. I definitely wouldn't let the small things stop you from going.

Memphis does have a theater district & stars on the sidewalk in front acknowledging performers…read more The Orpheum Theatre, a 2,308-seat venue that opened in 1928 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Touring Broadway productions, Ballet Memphis, various concerts, comedians, a summer movie series, a family series of educational programs, and local cultural & community events such as Memphis in May, International Blues Challenge, and special Elvis Week events take place here. In 1890, the Grand Opera House opened on the corner of Main & Beale streets, and was billed as the most classy theater outside New York City. Vaudeville was the main source of entertainment at the time, featuring singers, musicians & magicians. The "STARZ" are actually names in the Orpheum Theatre's Sidewalk of Stars, a tradition honoring artists who have performed here. The names, found on brass stars embedded in the sidewalk at Main & Beale Streets, commemorate performers from the Orpheum's history, much like the Hollywood Walk of Fame,
