    The best free festival in Memphis returns Labor Day weekend as the Memphis Music & Heritage Festival celebrates its 22nd consecutive year of presenting the unique cultural treasures the Memphis/Mid-South region has to offer. There will be plenty of the soul, blues, jazz, bluegrass, classic and alt-rock, klezmer, funk, country, folk, bluegrass and more that made, and continues to make, Memphis the great melting pot of American music. In addition, there will be special entertainment for children, cooking demonstrations, dancers, artists, craftspeople, heritage talkers and storytellers galore. Sponsored by the Center for Southern Folklore, the festival runs from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, September 5 and 6, on S. Main Street between Peabody Place and Gayoso. This year the Center is proud to honor three prominent Memphis saxophone players and dear friends; Fred Ford, Evelyn Young and Sonny Williams, with a special commemorative poster and t-shirt. And, as always, admission to the Memphis Music & Heritage Festival is FREE!
