Join us for the 37th Guaranty Bank Cooper Young Festival on Saturday, September 13, 2025 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. We invite you to celebrate all things Memphis in the largest and oldest historic district dating back to 1849. Hand-made art from Memphis and across the United States and great local music are what we are all about. Step into Cooper Young and you step into a historic whirlwind full of fun, Pronto Pups, Johnny Cash, music, art – local and beyond, people-watching, games, excitement and the un-expected. Calling all artists! Hand-made artist vendor booths will go on-sale on June 15 at 12 am at www.cooperyoungfestival.com. Apply early to get your favorite booth. We are looking for hand-made items by the artist that will be in attendance at the festival to talk about their art. We love some paintings, glass work, pencil art, upcycled items, yard art, wood carvings, jewelry, tie-dye t-shirts, pottery, vintage/collectible pieces, recycled items and the weird and funky.
We are opening up our INTERNATIONAL BAZAAR this year in the parking lot of First Congo Church! Everyone who imports items, mass produces t-shirts, clothing lines etc. should sign up to be in the BAZAAR.
Now is the time for local musicians and bands that play original music to submit their interest in playing on one of our stages on festival day! Please send us links to your music to [email protected]!
