How We Play
Festivals
Tourists often enjoy visiting when West Memphis holds its many festivals. Those include the West Memphis Blues Fest in April, the Fourth of July Freedom Fest and Firework Show, Taste of the Town in August, the National Night Out Community Block Party during fall, and the annual Christmas Parade and Christmas Tree Lighting in December.
Bike Share
Visitors also enjoy our new bike share program providing a network of bicycles that can be rented on-demand from stations in two locations one located at the Big River Trailhead and the other at the Big River Crossing - West, it changes everything about urban transportation. The process is easy: you go to a station, pick up a bike, and go. Then put it away at another station when you’re done.
