The Original Mother’s (26 W. Division St.), has announced the return of Elvis Fest in January 2025 to honor the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s 90th birthday. What started as a one-night event in 2000, has grown into a week-long tribute featuring Elvis-themed programming Wednesday, January 8 through Sunday, January 12. Elvis Fest will kick off on Wednesday, January 8, on what would have been Elvis Presley’s 90th birthday. The King’s Cocktail Party begins at 7pm featuring performances by an Elvis impersonator, themed cocktails, an Elvis costume contest, light bites including the King’s peanut butter and banana sandwiches, photo opps, and activations throughout the evening. The week will continue with Elvis-inspired festivities followed by rock ‘n’ roll-themed celebrations throughout the month including Rock ‘n’ Roll Dance Nights, Rack ‘n’ Roll Billiards Nights, Date Nights, and more.

As part of Elvis Fest, The Original Mother's will serve up a $6 Happy Hour Wednesday through Sunday from 7pm to 10pm. Guests can choose $6 Elvis-inspired cocktails, $6 U-Call-Its, $6 domestic beer, $6 house wine, and $6 shots.
