There is nothing more American than Elvis, Rock ‘n’ Roll, Fireworks, and BBQ. And we’ve put them all together so that you can join us in Memphis, TN – chosen by multiple travel publications as one of the country’s hottest destinations – to celebrate our nation’s independence at Graceland!
In honor of the holiday, Graceland will host several special events and parties, and the iconic Graceland Mansion will be beautifully lit in red, white, and blue all weekend long.
