Memphis Greek Festival
Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church
Friday-Saturday, May 9–10, 11 a.m.–9 p.m.
If you say, “It’s all Greek to me,” I will not laugh at your dad-joke at this weekend’s Memphis Greek Festival because this weekend is about the moms. (Mother’s Day is on Sunday, in case you forgot.) But while you keep your dad-jokes to yourself at the Memphis Greek Festival, you can enjoy authentic Greek food, traditional music and dance, shopping, church tours, a kids zone, and more.

Joel Parsons’ show at Sheet Cake Gallery wasn’t supposed to be this relevant. When he started creating his pieces for “Club Rapture and the Ecstasy Afters,” he wanted to recall the memories of queer protests and movements, of queer dance spaces, and the connections between them.

It’s May. Finally. The best month of the year — and that’s me objectively speaking. I mean, it’s May, everyone’s favorite month of the year according to the survey that I never did. There’s just so much to look forward to this month, like my birthday and my birthweek and my birthmonth.

In 2024, a small space heater sparked a fire that would set Maritza Dávila-Irizarry’s backyard studio ablaze. Her printing press, her tools, her collection of art books, and several artworks, both her own and those she collected — all amassed over her decades-long career — were damaged or destroyed entirely; the studio itself had to be brought to the foundation. “Between the fire and the fire department, everything was either burned or wet, or both,” she says.
