Lemon Drop Festival 2026

Memphis gets zesty for the Lemon Drop Festival, an outdoor daytime throwdown built around the citrusy cocktail and everything that goes with a proper warm-weather street festival — craft cocktails, local vendors, live music, and sunshine from open to close. It’s the kind of festival that leans into a theme without taking itself too seriously.

Expect a walkable outdoor footprint, plenty of vendor booths to wander between rounds, and a crowd that’s there to make a full day of it. Bring sunscreen, pace yourself through the lemon drops, and treat it as one of Memphis’s better excuses to day-drink outside all summer.
