The largest mixed-use development in Memphis history goes public this week, promising to transform a haggard Downtown gateway with apartments, stores, restaurants, a hotel, office towers, parking structures, green spaces, even a half-acre park perched over a roadway like a rooftop.

Back for a 12th year, RiverArtsFest 2018 will open Saturday, October 27 and run through Sunday, October 28. For the first time, the festival will be held on Riverside Drive between Jefferson and Beale Street. But as in years’ past, the festival will feature juried fine art for sale, live music, food and beverages, art demonstrations, and hands-on art activities.
