Tupelo, Mississippi, is the birthplace of an international icon and the headquarters of one of the most visited national parks in the country. While these one-of-a-kind attractions bring visitors from all over the world to the city where anything is possible, Tupelo’s unique culinary scene and varied live music venues keep visitors coming back.

Tupelo is a short drive from Huntsville making it the perfect weekend getaway destination. Tupelo has more than 2,000 accommodating hotel rooms offering a restful night’s sleep after a day full of fun. Hotel Tupelo, the city’s newest boutique hotel, has a restaurant and bar on-site, and is walkable to Downtown Tupelo’s many restaurants and shops. Two new hotels, Home2Suites and TRU by Hilton, are near the Barnes Crossing District, offering access to the city’s largest shopping area.

A culinary hotspot in the South, Tupelo’s foodie scene is diverse and delicious. With over 160 restaurants, the city’s eateries truly offer something for everyone. Try some of the south’s best barbecue at Clay’s House of Pig near the Elvis Presley birthplace. Experience elevated Southern food at Forklift in the Jackson West neighborhood. Enjoy gourmet coffee, craft beer, and hand crafted eats at Lost+Found Coffee Company in the Midtown District. Sample modern coastal cuisine with a twist at Jobos inside Hotel Tupelo. Follow #tupelofoodie on social media and let your mouth water.

Visitors looking for a truly unique culinary experience should look no further than Tupelo’s Cocktail Trail. The trail invites guests to visit eight Downtown Tupelo locations and enjoy delicious, local artisan cocktails. Pick up your cocktail card at the Tupelo Visitors Center or at each participating restaurant.

Once you have completed all eight stops on the Cocktail Trail, redeem your card at the Tupelo Visitors Center for a free #MyTupelo cocktail shaker.

Live music in the birthplace of the world’s greatest entertainer is a must. Tupelo has eleven live music venues offering different genres of music throughout the week. Visit tupelo.net/EVENTS to check out the latest live music events in town.

While you’re making a weekend of it, check out some of Tupelo’s unique attractions. The Elvis Presley Birthplace offers visitors a chance to walk in the footsteps of the King of Rock ‘N’ Roll by touring the home where he was born, a museum that chronicles his life, and the original Assembly of God Church where he was influenced by gospel music. The Natchez Trace Parkway is the perfect way to explore the great outdoors as it is headquartered in Tupelo and includes a visitor center and hiking trails.

The Tupelo Buffalo Park is home to over 260 animals and includes a drive through experience where visitors can get up close and personal with the park’s residents.
