Returning for a second season, the King Fest competition will offer more excitement, more entertainment, and, of course… more Elvis!
The excitement begins Friday, January 15th at 7pm with the Elvis Tribute Artist Competition, where talented artists vie for the right to return to the ETA Finals, taking place Saturday, January 16th at 1pm. Following the ETA Finals at 8pm is the special event, “The King Returns to Saginaw” featuring first-rate rock ‘n rollers that will have you all shook up!
