Southern Hot Wing Festival on Saturday from 10am to 6pm at South Main and G E Patterson. This is usually a fun event, with great people watching. You can usually sample the wingsfrom each team for a small donation to a charity. Otherwise, the event is sort of like BBQ fest. You have to know someone on a team in order to sample the food and get free drinks. Beer and other food is available for purchase from local vendors. There is also a nominal admission fee.

The Rajun Cajun Crawfish Festival is Sunday afternoon from 12-6 at Wagner Place between Union and Beale. This free admission event is usually one of the best festivals in Memphis. If the weather is good, you can expect great people watching and an annual visit to the Pier.

The Grizzlies also kick off their playoff run on Sunday at noon against the San Antonio Spurs. With the Grizzlies playing on the road, Sunday Funday at local bars might be packed for the game.
