CANDLELIGHT VIGIL

FREE

The annual Candlelight Vigil is the cornerstone event for Elvis Week each year and draws thousands of fans to the gates of Graceland on the eve of Elvis Presley’s passing.

After an opening ceremony at the gates of Graceland, fans are invited to walk up the driveway to Elvis’ gravesite 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 of Elvis’ passing.

The Candlelight Vigil will be open for all to attend. No special passes or wristbands are required to participate. All guests will be required to pass through a security checkpoint.

For fans who cannot attend in person, a free livestream of the ceremony will be available to watch online.
