Catch these legends and more, throughout the weekend in the Showcase Pavilion.

A ROCKIN' GOOD TIME

Turn up the volume for all the main stage mania! Don't miss the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Competition, where contestants will compete in a multi-round contest on Friday and Saturday, flaunting their talents and embodying the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. Then, soak in the vintage vibes with an Elvis-themed Pinup Contest, admire some of the most immaculately restored rides in the “Best of the Best” display or watch custom car creator David Ankins unveil his latest automotive masterpiece.
