Elvis on Broadway

During the Tupelo Elvis Festival, the King will have a new place to dwell. The Lyric Theatre and Broadway Street in historic downtown Tupelo is being dubbed “All Elvis, All the Time.” With 24 Elvis tribute artists competing in the 2009 Ultimate Elvis® Tribute Artist Competition, fans can sit back and enjoy all the great eras of Elvis. Outside the Lyric tribute artists will meet and greet with fans in between the three rounds of competition. Music will fill the streets throughout the weekend on the free stage with some time for open mic. Other great activities during the weekend are the Elvis Parade, the Elvis-Look-A-Like Parade and the Ladybug's Children's Activities on North Spring Street where youth tribute artists Demi Downing and Nick Gutierrez will headline. Elvis merchandise will be available for purchase to help attendees commemorate the fun-filled weekend. Join us in celebrating Tupelo's favorite son!
