Cooper-Young Festival

I had sch an amazing day. I so very much enjoyed the entire experience, from the local neighborhood to the festival itself. I almost enjoyed the people more than the vendors. I was most delighted to see such an array of great local representation. I especially enjoyed seeing my favorite community radio station 89.9 WEVL, which I did purchase a shirt from. The music was wonderful and there were fun food choices as well. The city must be ever so grateful to have such a loving group of people just being together.

I absolutely love vending this event!! Such a wonderful Memphis Staple ❤ we do yearly.

Love it!!! A place to be in Memphis around this time

This is a great festival showcasing some amazing artists and you can purchase their art and support some of these amazing people. The only thing that was disappointing and why I'm giving only four stars was the logo for the festival t-shirts were just weak for a festival that's celebrating art. I know Graffiti Graphics used to do the logo and I don't know why they don't anymore because it was always so well done! This Grind City graphics or whatever needs to reevaluate what they think is art. The logo for the t-shirt looks like it was done by a 12-year-old and maybe that's an insult to 12-year-olds. Didn't even use the festival poster art work.

I got there in the morning around 9:30. As time went on it got crowded & hotter in temperature. Everyone was fanning themselves with free fans. Expect to stay longer if you have more people with you, plan to eat & enjoy the live entertainment. Many vendors, from vintage, rustic decor, soaps, things for the kiddos, fashion, succulants, homemade breads, bakery items, honey, beer, corn dogs, vegetarian items, comfort foods. Great time. Drink a lot of water, wear comfortable shoes...& an umbrella to keep the sun away, unless you want to tan before the fall season arrives. Hope this was helpful.👍
