The memory of the King of Rock 'n' Roll lives on this week in Michigan.
The 10th annual Michigan ElvisFest is Friday and Saturday at Riverside Park in Ypsilanti's Depot Town. Organizers say about 9,000 people are expected at the event about 28 miles west-southwest of Detroit.
ElvisFest centers around concerts by Elvis Presley tribute performers and isn't billed as a competition. Organizers say others will perform as Tom Jones, Roy Orbison, Ricky Nelson and Elton John.
Presley died in 1977 at age 42.
