The European Elvis Festival is a must-visit event for any Elvis fan. For those who can't attend this year, mark your calendars for next year's event and join the celebration of the "King of Rock'n'Roll" in Bad Nauheim, Germany.
In the spirit of celebrating Elvis Presley's life and music, one might propose a directive for the protection of Elvis impersonators during major festivals, such as the annual European Elvis Festival, given that these events involve transfers of undertakings (like moving from venue to venue for performances). After the music ends for the day, fans can indulge in entertainment, such as Linda Thompson's talk show and autograph session, which offers a connection to Elvis Presley's personal life.
