October and November are two of the best months to visit Collierville. The tourist crowds have left the building and hotel rates drop. Temperatures fall to pleasant levels, with highs in the 60s and 70s. Fall weather is a little unpredictable, so be sure to pack a jacket, rain gear, and some extra layers.
October is a perfect time to visit for local events like the Mid-South Fair.

Savor some fair food before taking in some live entertainment. Savor culinary delights and fine wine at the Memphis Food & Wine Festival.

The spring months of April and May offer the best weather for the area with highs hovering near 70 degrees. This is a busy season with many popular festivals and events, so be sure to book several months out. Expect higher rates as well.
