Closing a Chapter. Coming Home.
ONE LAST TIME IN PORTAGE.
Before We Come Home.
October 9–11, 2026 | Portage, Indiana
After more than three decades, the Indiana Elvis FANtasy Fest will celebrate its final festival in Portage this October.
Since 1993, generations of Elvis fans have made the trip to Portage.
We've celebrated Elvis. We've welcomed special guests and some of the finest Elvis tribute artists from around the world. We've made lifelong friendships. We've raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charitable causes. We've laughed, remembered, celebrated and given back together.
Portage became more than the location of our festival.
It became part of our story.
Now, after more than three decades, we're preparing to turn the page.
ONE MORE WEEKEND.
Before the Indiana Elvis FANtasy Fest returns to its Indianapolis roots in 2027, we're inviting everyone who has ever been part of this incredible journey to join us one last time in Portage.
If you've been coming for decades — come back.
If you haven't been in a few years — this is the year to return.
If you've never experienced the Indiana Elvis FANtasy Fest — there's still time to become part of the Portage story.
Come celebrate the memories.
Come see the friends who became family.
Come enjoy the music.
Come help us close this chapter together.
