Windsor Elvis Fest has been held on the waterfront for the first 4 years of its existence. This has brought significant business to the downtown area including thousands of guests from outside of Windsor. The benefit to downtown merchants has been positive but there has not been a lot of support for Elvis Fest from these same merchants in terms of sponsorship money necessary to put on events of this type.
This year, Windsor Elvis Fest is still downtown but has moved to the Capitol Theatre and will be held June 18th to the 20th. Once again it is being sponsored by The Centres For Seniors Windsor, (519) 254-1108, and is designed as a fund raiser to support services for Windsor's seniors.
Many volunteers work countless hours to bring dozens of great entertainers to our city as well as build Windsor as a tourist attraction. The fans love the weekend and spend money downtown.
So, merchants, please show your support for an event that helps your business by signing up as a sponsor of the 2010 Windsor Elvis Fest. We need each other and we're staying downtown!
