How to survive the Collingwood Elvis™ Festival

Collingwood News2015-7-8By: Classical Staff

From Thursday, July 23rd to Sunday, July 26th jeweled jumpsuits are taking over the streets of Collingwood for the annual Elvis Festival. Young, old and everyone in between come from all over to experience the world’s largest Elvis celebration. With over 100 Elvis tribute artist acts, street dances, arena concerts, and competitions there’s enough action to bring out the inner Elvis in everyone. The year’s theme ‘This is Elvis’ offers shows and events throughout the weekend that provide a deeper glimpse into the man, his music, his attitude and iconic image.

The Festival also offers a lighter side for participants of all ages. The Roustabout Family Carnival is set up all weekend with rides, games and vendors bringing an old-fashioned good-time carnival feel. The Classic Car Parade and show adds even more shine and sparkle to the Festival and is a treat for car fans young and old,
