Episode Synopsis
Something big has happened on the east of the Mississippi River.
Tom Lee Park has long been an important place for Memphis. It has undergone a spectacular, $61 million renovation and is now a world-class location, completely transforming the city's riverfront.
Get there next month for two big festivals: Riverbeat music festival and Smokeslam, a huge barbecue contest.
