MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Organizers said the Beale Street Music Festival was a huge hit.

More than 100,000 people turned out for the three days of fun, and downtown businesses reaped the benefits.

Monday, the stages came down at Tom Lee Park, but crews wore a big smile.

Organizers said this weekend was the perfect combination: good weather and a diverse lineup.

It attracted the largest crowd in years.

“It is a huge economic impact that helps vendors, smaller businesses in the area, and helps hoteliers,” said Valerie Morries with Memphis in May.

When people weren’t listening to music, they hit up downtown for food and alcohol.

“We staff up. Order up. Prep up. It is huge!,” said Ashley Boggs Robilio with Huey’s. “This was one the biggest weekends Huey’s has had in about seven to eight years.”

Blind Bear Speakeasy co-owner Jeanette West said she was swamped too.

“They were here at 11 when the doors opened and ate all day then came back at 1:15 in the morning,” said West. “We thought we were prepared. Downtown is a very close family of restaurants and bars, so we did have to borrow some things. They borrowed some things. We ran out of eggs. We have never used so many eggs before.”

Officials said Memphis in May events are expected to have a $70 million impact not only helping locally-owned businesses, but the entire city.

Music fest organizers said sporting events and the Bass Pro opening added to the downtown crowd.

Even better news: organizers said there were no real traffic or safety issues this weekend.
