BEALE STREET

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Beale Street runs from the Mississippi River to East Street, a distance of approximately 1.8 miles (2.9 km). It is a significant location in the city’s history, as well as in the history of the blues. Today, the blues clubs and restaurants that line Beale Street are major tourist attractions in Memphis attracting more than 4 million visitors annually. Festivals and outdoor concerts periodically bring large crowds to the street and its surrounding areas.
