ABOUT BRISTERFEST:

In 2011, a new Memphis tradition was born.

Brister Street Productions created Brister Street Music Festival, a.k.a. Bristerfest, to enhance and celebrate the local music culture. Bristerfest occurs at the legendary outdoor Shell in Overton Park, where Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, The Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers, among others, have performed.

In 2012 and beyond, Bristerfest seeks to enhance the local community and environment by serving as an avenue for artistic ventures and donating a portion of the proceeds from ticket sales to GrowMemphis, a 501(c)3 Non-Profit, for the development of new urban gardens.

Can’t wait to see you there!
