Locals can unleash their inner artist at a three-day event in Downtown Memphis.
The River Arts Fest is an outdoor celebration that will feature the work of more than 180 artists from around the nation. Mediums will include jewelry, photography, paintings, metal, and glass. Displays will range from modern to traditional.
There will also be more than 40 performances on three different stages. Strolling musicians will entertain attendees too. A variety of food, wine, and beer vendors will be on site.
With more than 85,000 people expected to attend, it is likely printing companies have been busy creating promotional materials to inform residents of the festival’s date, time, and place.

On October 23, there will be a preview party from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. The party costs $30 and includes hors d’oeuvres, drinks, and entertainment.
