Elvis In the Gardens Annual Concert

This year is the 10th anniversary of the free Elvis in the Gardens all day concert attracting over 15,000 people every year now.

It is the single largest one day Elvis tribute concert in the world. Why? Because we deliver up a world class band and Ultimate ETA world winners. This year by popular demand we have Dean Z back as the headliner - considered the best 50's Elvis in the World. Plus Dean Craig from the UK; Che Orton, Brendon Chase and Andy Stankovich.

Other NZ performers will be on stage during the band breaks, and there are a few surprises in store. Once again the spectacular Tributes in Concert Band is being flown over and will play for 5 and half hours over the day. You don't have to be an Elvis fan. You simply have to love good music and quality performances.

All the children's activities are free for the 10th year including 7 bouncy castles, 10 professional facepainters and more. All fully supervised, so Mum and Dad can relax and enjoy the day.

Bring your picnic or enjoy the food and trade stands. Free parking on site for up to 20,000 people and Gates open at 9 am for vehicles. (Many walk in as early as 7.30am to get their prime spots!)

This year we are back on the original site at the Northern end of the Gardens. Entrance through the end of Everglade Drive. Classic Cars are welcome and have a special area allocated with elevated viewing. Just follow the instruction of the traffic management team.

Have some fun and come dressed for the occasion. The Vintage Dress competition is on again and is becoming more competitive every year.

Donna Presley ( who lived at Graceland with Elvis till she married and then worked for Vernon Presley) will be with us at the gardens and available at set times to meet and have photos.

Following site improvements there is now a slope running the length of the spectator area in front of the stage area. This will be the designated no tent area this year with all marquees and tents on the flat area above.

The Gardens management have put a temporary by law in place preventing dogs in the spectator Zone. We have two giant screens on site to enhance viewing and Oceania's Largest stage this year.

This is a fantastic family event for all ages, and cultures. The atmosphere is brilliant so come and enjoy a day of timeless music and relaxation.
