The Elvis Fest has been a highlight of the Lake George spring calendar since its launch in 2004. It has grown to become the second largest venue for the Elvis Tribute Artist competition and is one of the few competitions selected by Elvis Presley Enterprises to be a qualifying round. During the five-day festival, ticket holders will have the opportunity to attend the contests and special shows, which are held at the Lake George Forum, 220 Route 9, Lake George.
