Elvis Week

Where: Nashville and Memphis, TN
When: August 8-16

Elvis Week is a week-long celebration of the life and career of Elvis Presley, full of parties, meet and greets, live concerts, dances and much more. The grand culmination is an overnight candlelight vigil at Presley's grave at Graceland that usually draws more than 75,000 fans. It's all to mark the anniversary of the death of Elvis (or so the CIA would have you believe...).
