Fieldaze Inaugural Memphis Outdoor Festival This November

 New festival alert! 

There’s a new three-day outdoors-oriented fest starting in downtown Memphis this November 5-7, hosted by Discover Memphis Naturally. They’re calling it “3 days of revelry by the river” and I think it’s a fabulous idea. 

For the “Huzzah! On The Harbor” Kayak Race on Saturday at 2pm, the weather is looking great, and there will be a DJ, Wiseacre beer and Raw Girls juices for Huzzah participants. Use LOVEMEM25 for a 25% discount promo code on your entry fee—sign up here.

The Competitions 

Fieldaze’s main events are three competitions: a half marathon/5K race across Big River Crossing, a kayak race in Wolf River Harbor, and a cycling competition. You can register for these through the Fieldaze website. 

  • Peer Power BRX Half-Marathon and 5K Race ($25 - $55) 
  • “Huzzah! On The Harbor” Kayak Race in Wolf River Harbor ($40) -- for this one, the weather is looking great, and there will be a DJ, Wiseacre beer and Raw Girls juices for Huzzah participants. Use LOVEMEM25 for a 25% discount promo code
  • Grit & Grind Gravel Grinder Bike Race ($45)

There are actually a couple of different 5Ks going on across town that are a part of Fieldaze weekend. More info on the Memphis Adventures website. 

Fieldaze activities: Skating, Dancing, Fitness, Food

In addition to these races, there will also be a TON of free, family-friendly actives going on all weekend. I’ve rarely seen a festival so jam-packed with activities.

Expect free fitness classes and fun throughout the weekend hosted by the DMC including lots of yoga, a scavenger hunt, Zumba, line dancing in Handy Park, roller skating, a Grizzlies watch party at Wiseacre, and more. You can make your own schedule and classes are walk-up so no registration required. 

See the full schedule at memphisadventures.com/fieldaze and a quick schedule below. Also, Fieldaze will coincide with the last weekend of the annual Downtown Dining Week—more info on that coming soon.
