Bad Nauheim to Organize Elvis Festival Alone in the Future - Bad Nauheim Takes Full Reins of the European Elvis Festival in 2023

Bad Nauheim will assume full control of the European Elvis Festival starting in 2023. The city has terminated its long-standing collaboration with the Elvis Presley Society (EPG) in Bonn. Officials expressed gratitude to the group for helping transform the event into an international attraction over the years.

The festival, held annually in Bad Nauheim since 2002, pays tribute to Elvis Presley's time as a soldier stationed nearby during the 1950s. The 2023 edition is scheduled for August 14–16.

The decision to restructure follows discussions between the city and the EPG regarding the festival's direction. Differing ideas for its future led to the city handling all planning and organization independently starting next year.

The change means Bad Nauheim will now manage the festival independently, continuing to celebrate Elvis's legacy in the region. No further details about the EPG's future projects have been released.
