Memphis welcomes craft and draft festival

When it comes to summer relaxation and shopping local, the Memphis community knows how to put a unique twist on it.

Located in a historic 1927 high-rise building, Crosstown Concourse has transformed the original Sears retail store into a mixed-use building that now houses a variety of stores, restaurants, office spaces, and apartments. It will also host the upcoming Memphis Crafts and Drafts Festival Summer Market.

Designed as a way to bring the Memphis community together, the Crafts & Drafts Festival Summer Market is a family-friendly shopping event. Event attendees can browse a wide range of local vendors while enjoying refreshing craft beers. In addition to being able to discover some of Mid-South's best creatives, attendees can also experience some of the other amenities at Crosstown Concourse, including a variety of kids' activities, museums, and several local restaurants and stores that call the high-rise home.

Craft festivals are a key method that local artisans utilize to make connections and build brand awareness within the local community. Vendors will use different tools, like flyer printing, to help showcase their unique products and services and make it easier for event attendees to reconnect after the event.

The Memphis Crafts and Drafts Festival Summer Market will take place at the Crosstown Concourse Plaza and Atrium. which is located at 1350 Concourse Ave, Memphis on June 7, 2025 at 11 am to 6 pm. The festival is free to attend and additional information can be found on the event’s website.
