MRPP Claims Music Fest Caused Significant Damage to Tom Lee Park.

Memphis River Parks Partnership (MRPP) has reported that Tom Lee Park suffered "significant damage" during the Beale Street Music Festival due to an unnamed vendor causing damage to a water line while setting up. The park had recently undergone a $60 million renovation and is set to open to the public on Labor Day. MRPP is hoping that damages will not affect the upcoming World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest in May and plans to assess the damage after the event.
