Memphis in the spring is always wonderful. The big festival of Memphis in May is coming soon but that's not the only thing going on in Memphis for the spring. Coming this weekend is the St. Patrick day celebration that will be in full force on Beale Street. Although Beale Street is well known for all of its blues and rock-n-roll bars, the parade on Saturday is completely kid friendly. Not on the street but behind closed doors and in tents there's plenty more going on for the over 21 crowd.
