Exciting Changes Coming to Elvis Week 2019
EPE announced several "exiting" changes for Elvis Week 2019. One of the better moves is that there will be no charge for the Candlelight Vigil. There were significant less participants this year than the previous years.
The update from EPE:
As you make your plans to join us at Graceland August 9-17, we are busy making plans to make your experience better than ever! Below are a few of the new enhancements to the Elvis Week experience to ensure a fun and unforgettable week celebrating the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll with fellow fans, friends and family.
There will be no charges or special passes associated with the Candlelight Vigil. We invite everyone to come to Graceland and join the procession up to Meditation Garden on this special evening (8/15/19) to honor Elvis.
The brand-new Exhibition Space at Graceland will be opening in May and during Elvis Week, will be home to our Music Pavilion – the new and improved location for what was formerly known as the “Entertainment Tent.” The area features 10,000 square feet of indoor, air-conditioned space to enjoy continuous live entertainment, as well as a comfortable area for fans to recharge and reconnect. Food and beverage options will also be available. The building is conveniently located near Graceland’s Visitor Parking Lot and is easily accessible by foot or free shuttle.
With the all-new TCB Pass, we have created an incredible value to help you make the most of your week. For $28.75, you will receive unlimited access to the Music Pavilion (seating on a first-come/first-served basis), unlimited access to Elvis Presley’s Memphis – including all exhibits, shops and restaurants, plus free parking in Graceland’s Visitor Parking Lot every day after 5:00 p.m. One pass covers you for the duration of Elvis Week.
The Early Bird Special at The Guest House at Graceland Resort has been extended due to overwhelming demand. Rooms begin at $299 per night, and every registered guest staying 2 or more nights during Elvis Week will receive a TCB Pass. Expect more free entertainment options throughout the resort, more surprises, and complimentary shuttles throughout all of Graceland’s properties, making this the perfect home base for Elvis Week 2019. Click here for more details or to book your room.
Rest assured we are hard at work creating an unparalleled week of shows and events. Stay tuned for more announcements. We look forward to welcoming you back to Graceland to make memories that will last a lifetime.
