About this event
RiverArtsFest brings more than 160 juried artists from Memphis and across the country to Riverside Drive along the Mississippi River for two days of original fine art, live local music, artist demonstrations and creative experiences. The volunteer-led nonprofit behind it calls it the region's largest fine arts festival in Downtown Memphis and reinvests the proceeds in opportunities for artists and arts education in schools and communities across Shelby County.
Our take: Bring a card: festival tickets, food and drink stations are cashless and there are no ATMs inside, though many artists also take cash or checks.
Parking
Enter from Riverside Drive at Jefferson, Court, Union or Beale; the Jefferson Ave. entrance has a ride-share and mobility drop-off lane. Street and paid garage parking throughout Downtown, including the Metro 67 Garage at 60 Madison Ave.; no on-site handicap parking on Riverside Drive. Rain or shine.
