Meet Our Pick Awards Entertainment & Sponsors
We are looking forward to a fun-filled evening of celebration as we welcome Memphis hospitality professionals to Beale Street Landing for the 2024 Pick Awards. During the party, Welcome to Memphis will recognize a Pick Award winner and runner-up in four categories: restaurants, attractions, hotels, and hosts. Two special annual awards are given for outstanding service: the Michelle Land Award and the Mary Schmitz Leadership Award. Guests will enjoy live music, delicious food, delightful beverages, and so much more!
The evening would not be possible without our wonderful partners. Please meet the talented entertainment, caterers, sponsors, and more for this year’s Pick Awards:
Located at Main and Beale, the Downtown Memphis Mobility Center includes approximately 1400 parking spaces, a bike commuter station, and commercial space. As a transportation sponsor for the Pick Awards, the center is offering FREE parking for the event!
Another of our incredible transportation sponsors, Backbeat Tours offers amazing excursions that showcase Memphis history through music, story, and fun. Guests will get a taste of Backbeat’s quirky style as they shuttle to Beale Street Landing for free.
