Thousands of Elvis fans gather around the gates of Graceland each year on August 15 to celebrate the life and legacy of the King of Rock 'n' Roll. Fans not able to attend this year's Candlelight Vigil can watch the ceremony live by subscribing to the Official Elvis YouTube Channel. The YouTube Live stream of this year's ceremony will take place tonight from 8:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. CT.
After an opening ceremony at the gates of Graceland, fans will walk up the driveway to Elvis' grave-site and back down carrying a candle in quiet remembrance. Gates remain open until all who wish to participate in the procession have done so, which typically takes until the early morning hours of August 16, the anniversary date of Elvis' passing.
We will also host another YouTube Live event during our "Meet The Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Finalists" on August 17 at 11:00 a.m CT. See complete interactive online schedule!
