MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The $5 Beale Street fee for weekend nights is coming back.
The Downtown Memphis Commission announced Thursday that the $5 security fee for Beale Street would resume on Friday and Saturday nights “due to historic visitor trends and the forecast for great weather.”

Beale Street allows those under age 21 with legal guardians until 11:00 p.m. After that, the street is strictly 21 and over.
Security begins checking IDs at 9:00 p.m. each Friday and Saturday night.
The charge begins at 10:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday nights. They did not say for how long the fee would last.
