901 Day presents 24 hours to show your city pride!
On a surface level, it’s the commemoration of an area code—but at its core, 901 Day monumentalizes Memphis, and most importantly the Memphians that have created the culture.
- Want to make your rounds to all of the eateries we’ve been blessed with? You won’t be hangry, that’s for sure!
- Want to volunteer your time or donate your dollars to your favorite local org or nonprofit? That’s incredible!
- Want to dance it out at a spot where a local DJ is doing their thing? Don’t step on nobody’s forces!
You could learn some history, support a local business, go on a photo walk, slice a pool, stream Memphis music, purchase that one-of-a-kind piece made by a local artist… I think you get the picture.
We’ve got so much to be proud of here, and this celebration only comes once a year.
To make the most of 901 Day 2024, we’ve put together a guide that’ll help you do the day justice—because this is our city. This is our day, and as Blocboy JB would say, “Look Alive!“
