Two longtime Memphis events return this weekend, right in time for Memorial Day.
The first is the Great American River Run, which is hosted by Memphis in May International Festival and starts and finishes Downtown.
The second is the Sunset Symphony, now held at the Overton Park Shell, with the Memphis Symphony Orchestra.
In between, there’s a show you can’t bring your phone to and a festival for lemon-drop-lovers.
Newsletter editor Bianca Phillips joins us today to talk about you might want to do.
