Arts and crafts festival |
Cooper Street and Young Street Memphis, TN 38104 United States +1 901 276 7222 http://www.cooperyoung.com/ |
The Cooper-Young neighborhood is inhabited by a mix of artists and young professionals, and it includes more than its share of coffee bars, galleries and trendy restaurants. Each fall, an arts and crafts festival fills the neighborhood's streets and draws visitors from across the Mid-South area. Craftsmen exhibit and sell their wares, including pottery, metal works, sculpture and tie-dyed clothing. Local bands entertain on two stages, and area restaurants sell fare, such as corn dogs and funnel cakes, plus lots of beer. Review © 2007, Wcities |
