Bait and switch with performers to sell tickets. Disappointing.
This was the best Elvis festival that I have ever been to! And I have been to many. The Saturday night concert was out of this world. I absolutely loved the wonderful part of the band and orchestra playing while we watched Elvis on the screen and it was his voice singing. It was sooooo emotional that I cried. I think all festivals should have some kind of way to include Elvis Presley at the end of the festivals. After all Elvis is what these festivals are all about. Very well done! ❤️
Not run fairly. I don't think the people that were judging new much about Elvis song or the words to his songs and his move. They should have random people judge and that way it might be fair.
The festival was great. The youth competition and the Birthplace were a plus. Disappointed in the afterparty Saturday nite. Space, menu, did not meet quality for cost. My bad. I had been told i needed to do an afterpsrty in Memphis. Did not work for us.
The Tupelo Elvis festival never disappoints me and this year was certainly no exception. The performers always “bring it” and the TIC band from Australia was superb and having the local symphony orchestra join in on Saturday night was lovely. In fact, to describe Saturday night’s concert would only require one word: perfection. No other Elvis festival has what Tupelo has: his birth place! Having footage of Elvis on the screen and the production itself was moving and meaningful. Tupelo is also blessed with having Tom Brown also from Tupelo and formerly with TCM TV to host the event. Conversations is one of my favorite events, having people who knew Elvis first hand is becoming more of a rarity so is especially meaningful. Great, great time and didn’t want it to end!
Much respect to every ETA that performed! Their love for Elvis was evident in every song they sang and every move they made. The outfits. The band. The audience. So much electric excitement in the building!
The Cadence Arena did an amazing job. The special effects, lighting, & sound were superb. The back up singers were so extremely talented. The band & orchestra was grand! The MC was hilarious! Sunday was the best of the whole event. But, majority of people had left. Both MC were fantastic! More publicly for Sunday performance is definitely needed!
2023 festival was definitely THE best! Everyone did an amazing job performing and those who worked behind the scenes.. So much work went into this event and the outcome showed it!! It was an experience I will never forget! Thank you to all who had a part of this wonderful event! You rocked it!
The event was fabulous. From challengers to the ultimate winners performing. Wish there had been a print program to make easier to remember the performers
Wow!!! Best concert ever!! My family and I go every year, but this year we can’t stop talking about! Keep his memory alive!!!
