Between the Rajun Cajun Crawfish Festival at the river end of Beale and the Africa in April at the other end, downtown Memphis was crowded Sunday. And the Grizzlies won their first playoff game ever!

Juke Joint Festival 2011/Africa In April 2011

This weekend has been a busy one, with Clarksdale's Juke Joint Festival, and Africa In April, Hot Wing Festival and the Dub Car Show in Memphis. I couldn't figure out which ones I wanted to do, so I went to Clarksdale and then back to Memphis to catch the tail end of Africa in April's first day.

Beale Street, Africa In April, April 17, 2010








Africa in April has become a spring tradition in Memphis, and while it might not be exactly Freaknik, it's as close as we've ever gotten in Memphis, since it usually involves bright, sunny weather, street vendors, good food, live music and huge crowds of people. This year, Nigeria was the African country being honored, and the pretty weather brought out the people (and unfortunately, the politicians as well).
