71 years after the End of WW2 and the end of the Sowjet Empire the City of Pilsen is today part of the European Community - and is remembering V-Day with an own Liberation Festival in large scale with full support of the Major of the City and local authorities. So there will be Concerts, Commemorations at the Patton Memorial with Veterans in Place, Convoy driving with MV as well as a MV collectors Camp and much more.

15th European Elvis Festival at Bad Nauheim and 9th Elvis Weekend at Friedberg (G)
Largest Event in Europe of this kind at the former "European home of the King", incl. Exhibitions, Cadillac Parade, Cinema- and life music Events, collectibles market and much more - celebrating this year the 81st B-Day of the King! The background of this Festival: When the “King of Rock ´n´ Roll” started his military service on the 1st of October 1958, the city of Bad Nauheim (about 20 km north of Frankfurt) soon became his “European home”: He rented a house at the Goethestrasse in Bad Nauheim and lived there with his his parents for 18 months and met his later wife during that time there. So Bad Nauheim is the home of the "European Graceland". The German Elvis Presley Association (EPG) is celebrating this fact at Bad Nauheim with it's "European Elvis Festival".
His US Army unit was located at the Ray Barracks at the nearby town of Friedberg and the City of Friedberg is celebrating this period with "the King" with an own Event, the "Elvis Weekend" in cooperation with the Elvis Presley Verein (EPV) on the same weekend. Both festival attract each year 6,000-8,000 visitors. Highlights: collectibles market, lot's of cover Bands and a Cadillac & vintage car exhibition as well as a Cadillac parade from Bad Nauheim to Friedberg and a unique guided tour with MV at the former US Army Ray Barracks area that normally is strictly closed to the public.
