This weekend in Bartlett, TN

A spirited coffee showdown brings together teams of three for friendly competition that highlights espresso craft and community. Participants can register to compete for $25, while spectators are welcome at no cost. Competitors receive a T-shirt, a GCX tote sponsored by Minor Figures and Thirty Three Ink, and a 10 ounce beer from Ghost River Brewing. The challenges include a latte-carrying sprint, multiple rounds of puck tossing, a coffee sack hop, a paired latte art routine, and a high energy speed round to close it out. Demos explaining each challenge will be posted, and the focus is on having fun while helping build stronger, more sustainable coffee communities.

A relaxed summer sendoff offers an afternoon of flavor and friendly company, featuring slow-smoked Southern-style BBQ pork with plenty of classic sides and feel-good vibes. It is a simple chance to gather, unwind, and savor one more hangout together before the season fades.

Guided by 901 Run Club’s mission to bring people in Memphis and beyond together through community and a shared love of running, this event focuses on connection and inclusivity. All participation levels are welcome, from experienced runners to those just getting started, as well as anyone who would rather walk.

At D’Bo’s Daiquiris Wings & Seafood, The Saxman, Calvin Jerry Smith, fills the room with live jazz on saxophone while guests enjoy wings, seafood, and drinks in a relaxed, mature atmosphere. Karaoke is open to anyone who wants to sing, creating a laid-back spot to unwind with friends and enjoy live music.

Memphis sets the stage as FreeWorld fills The Band Box at Blues City Cafe with an energetic blend of funk, soul, blues, and jam-band improvisation each Sunday night. Expect punchy horn lines, groove-forward rhythms, and that signature Beale Street attitude in a cozy room made for live music. The set leans into danceable jams and familiar sing-alongs, complemented by good drinks, a welcoming crowd, and the timeless vibe that makes for an easy Sunday tradition.
