Memphis Attractions in Fall 2006 [Celebrating the Holidays in Memphis]

Although everyday in Memphis, Tennessee is a celebration, the holidays are truly special and significant because it always feels like home. People can go all over the world, but being in Memphis gives a person warmth, soul, laughter, and good vibes overall. In Memphis, the holidays are filled with events, whether the activities consist of hanging out with family at home, or going with friends or co-workers out on the town. If you are visiting Memphis this holiday season, make sure to check out the following venues:

Sports: Memphians are hysterically supportive of the teams that represent our great city. The Memphis Grizzlies is a team that plays with heart, really participates in charitable activities, and understands the importance of living life. The team plays in the one of Memphis’s most amazing buildings, the FedEx Forum, which happens to be located in the downtown area very close to the infamous Beale Street. This newly built arena is a favorite for everyone and as basketball season is approaching, Memphians cannot wait to attend games and watch the Grizzlies play. The FedEx Forum is also used to attend The University of Memphis Tigers basketball games, which are equally exciting to all residents. Everyone really expresses their team spirit by wearing the school’s signature blue and gray colors with the tiger emblem decorating the t-shirt. This holiday season is sure to be special and filled with the team spirit that Memphis residents love to share.

Plays: The Orpheum Theatre is a very special spot in the downtown area that holds concerts and plays designed to captivate an audience. The Orpheum holds a very interesting history and is supported by many because of its longstanding wonders. The Orpheum has a beautiful interior that has been home to many celebrity performances. There are numerous events being held at the Orpheum this holiday season. In November for instance, Tyler Perry will do a five-day run of his new inspirational play What’s Done in the Dark (Will Come to the Light). There will be many great performances to attend here in Memphis at the Orpheum Theatre.
