A note from
Delphinium Boutique with some information about April's Trolley Tour: "Just a heads up...April's Trolley Night falls on the first night of Memphis in May's Music Fest. A number of stores will be open that night and continue with Trolley Night as usual. However, a nice selection will be having a "Pre-Trolley Night" event the Friday before, April 23rd. We'll have bands and great store give-a-ways! Just like a real Trolley Night. We'll send out reminders... but we hope to see you on the 23rd!"

The 2010 Memphis Brewfest will be Saturday, April 24th from 4pm - 8pm in the plaza area of Autozone Park at Third and Union.

Beale Street Wine Race is Sunday, April 25th.

Olivia - I have gone to all of these, except the bike night kick off and the Brewfest since this is its first year. We'll see how many I make it to this time around.
