Elvis 50th Anniversary ParadeOn the day of Elvis' homecoming to Tupelo, there was a parade through downtown Tupelo with high school bands and organizations from all over Tupelo marching alongside city politicians and dignitaries to celebrate the return of Tupelo's most famous native son. We will re-create the homecoming parade on Saturday, June 3 at 10:00 a.m., and we would love to have you participate in this historic event. The parade will start at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 3rd with a 1-mile route that ends in Tupelo's Fairpark district. Lineup begins at 9 a.m. at Robins/Noble Park at 522 North Madison Street, Tupelo, MS 38804. EVERY ENTRY should include a banner welcoming Elvis home to Tupelo. Banners will be judged for creativity, originality and showmanship by an expert panel. Winners chosen for each of the four parade categories will be awarded $200. A $500 Grand Prize will be awarded to the entry that gets the expert panel "All Shook Up!" For more information, contact the Tupelo Convention & Visitors Bureau office or call us at 1-800-533-0611.
