Fans of the late Elvis Presley, you’re gonna want to listen up!

Graceland is sharing tons of special events during the week including live concerts, panel discussions and candlelight vigils. Let’s go over some of the most exciting events happening during the week so you can prepare for your visit. In addition to events in Memphis, there will be special tours and events in Presley’s home of Tupelo, Mississippi.
It is no secret that there is an abundance of Elvis tribute artists and impersonators out there. Now, they have a chance to prove that they are the best Elvis (after the original, of course!). There will be the ultimate Elvis tribute artist contests complete with concerts and dance parties. There will be several different shows paying tribute to the decades of Presley’s music including the 1950s, 1970s and his love of gospel music.
