Penticton’s annual Elvis Festival is back this weekend

Elvis Presley tribute artists have gathered in Penticton to face off and see who’s the best. Artists will be doing their best renditions of the king of rock and roll at the Penticton Elvis Festival in Okanagan Lake Park today and tomorrow. Tickets are $38 to $64, but they are nearly sold out. The judges will be deciding the winning Elvis after tomorrow’s finals which start at 2 p.m. Contestants are judged on their overall singing ability, how well their look emulates the king himself, whether they have Elvis’ on stage charisma, and their overall performance.
