Nothing says "music vacation" like Memphis. From the obvious icons, like Elvis, to Memphis' rich independent scene today, the city is filled to the brim with opportunities for music-loving vacationers. There's tons more to do than just visit Graceland. In fact, this weekend will see the Beale Street Music Festival, a giant party on Memphis' famed blues and rock 'n' roll walk. Another option that's there year-round is the Gibson Guitar Factory, which offers factory tours that will fascinate guitar players and fans alike. Gibson's $10, 45-minute tours offer a glimpse into the birthplace of the models played by all your favorite guitarists, and the factory is located near all the Beale Street action. Keep your eye on Memphis In May for more to do throughout this month, including the famous barbecue cookoff. The Westin Memphis Beale Street is centrally located for May's festivities and further exploration of the city.
