Candlelight Vigil

While other things during the week are high energy, loud and entertaining (all in very good way), the Candlelight Vigil is a time during the festival when everyone can gather together and pay their respects to Elvis Presley. This year, an estimated 30,000 people arrived at the Graceland gates to stand together in remembering Elvis. The evening started with Lisa Marie, Elvis’ daughte... Read More

Elvis Presley's Tupelo

By Alyssa Long Tupelo, Mississippi, located about an hour outside of Memphis, is where Elvis Presley grew up. Elvis lived in this tiny town until he was 13 years old and his family packed up their car and moved to Memphis, Tennessee. I had the opportunity to visit and it was truly incredible to see the humble beginning Elvis had and how this sleepy town shaped the man he was to become. If you get the opportunity to visit Tupelo, I highly recommend visiting the Elvis Presley B... Read More
