Elvis Week 2020 special guests include members of the TCB Band, James Burton, Glen Hardin and Ronnie Tutt, musicians David Briggs and Norbert Putnam, Charles Stone, who worked closely with the Colonel on Elvis' tours and career, Elvis' bodyguard Sam Thompson, former members of J.D.

The cornerstone event of Elvis Week will be the annual Candlelight Vigil. The Elvis Candlelight Vigil always begins on the evening of August 15 and lasts well into the morning of August 16, as fans walk up the driveway to Meditation Garden holding a candle in quiet remembrance of Elvis. Candlelight Vigil participants numbering in the tens of thousands gather on Elvis Presley Blvd. during the evening to listen to music, remember Elvis and enjoy the memorials that are created by fans along the street.
Whether your schedule allows you to come for the whole week or just a long weekend, you’ll find something for everyone at Elvis Week.
