About Rox Fest
Memphis Rox Climbing + Community is thrilled to announce the 2nd annual Rox Fest, an all-are welcome and family friendly celebration of community, diversity, and culture; featuring camping, climbing, music, food, educational speeches and more.
Join us to share time and space in the spirit of raising awareness and accessibility to the activity of climbing, the lifestyle and the climbing adjacent work. This event is a fundraiser for Memphis Rox Climbing + Community.
