Schedule and Restaurant Guide

Welcome

to Memphis

fellow bridge enthusiasts

Thank y'all for coming! We are very pleased to have you here with us. I think you will enjoy the convenience of the bridge venue. The Main Street trolley offers easy access between the playing site, your hotel and other downtown activities.

You will find quite a lot of excellent restaurants downtown within walking and trolley distance. Our restaurant team has spent time to ensure that you will be well received. Memphis is known for its exceptional food.

Get ready for a hair-raising experience when The Bouffants perform at the Welcome Reception on Friday, March 22. Four vocalists backed by five musicians perform hits by The Jackson Five, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner and more.

Downtown Memphis is the home of the worldrenowned St. Jude Children's Hospital. There will be free tours every day for an experience that you will remember for a long time.

The ACBL will also offer tours of the Bridge Museum, which is a must-see! Information on these and other tours can be found on page 57.

If this is your first visit to Memphis, you must visit Elvis's Graceland, the home of the King of rock 'n' roll. There are many other fun things to see like the new Bass Pro Pyramid and the National Civil Rights Museum.

Welcome!
