EVENTS
Memphis Mayor Paul Young Inauguration Weekend 2024
Thank you so much for supporting the Inauguration Weekend events! Each event was special and contributed to the spirit of hope and positive energy we feel for our City. The Inauguration Gala was the perfect way to wrap up a weekend of festivities. A black-tie event that celebrates local chefs providing a Taste of Memphis experience, music, and everything that makes Memphis great. Proceeds from the event went toward helping Memphis Youth.
SUPPORTING MEMPHIS YOUTH
