We are such a rowdy bunch! 😂

In all seriousness these 2 are the best security guards. They keep us in line, keep you safe and the whole time with a smile on their faces!!!

From fainting ETAs (if you know, you know) tripping klutz volunteers (me đŸ€Šâ€â™€ïž) chasing off party crashers (yep, it happened)
 they are always up for anything.

I can’t wait to see Tom and Char again this year. It really is like a family reunion
 wait, they are each others family! đŸ€·â€â™€ïž

Angel Saucedo is a rising star, and we are delighted to welcome him back to Blue Suede 2026, where his incredible journey is sure to inspire. At 21 years old, this Los Angeles, California native is a shining example of what can be achieved with passion and dedication.

His love affair with music began at 12 years old, when his dad introduced him to the magic of live music at an old blues bar. From that moment on, Angel knew he was destined for greatness. By 13, he was playing guitar at the same bar, and in middle school, he joined the band, playing the tuba. The drummer encouraged him to join a non-profit community arts center, where he spent 3 incredible years playing for and with artists such as “Earth, Wind, and Fire,” Kamasi Washington, and Jackson Browne.

At 15, Angel’s career took a life-changing turn when he discovered his love for Elvis, and he began singing at private parties and small venues. Today, he is a versatile singer of American and Spanish music, proud to have written two original Spanish songs that are close to his heart.

Angel feels grateful to have had the opportunity to open concerts or share the stage with Spanish bands and singers, and he loves performing for senior centers and a children’s orphanage in Mexico, as well as for non-profit organizations.

Since starting to compete in 2024, Angel has achieved remarkable success, including winning the Vegas Elvis Fest and competing in the 2024 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist contest.

We are thrilled to welcome Angel back to Blue Suede 2026, where his talent, passion, and dedication are sure to inspire and uplift.

Want to make a difference in the community but can't attend the festival? Heck, even if you are attending the festival, why not promote your business or hobby!?

Printing costs continue to rise (like all things now a days), and because we don't print in bulk, we rely on sponsors and advertisers to help cover program costs. In all transparency, we incur losses on the programs, which directly impacts our community giving. We keep program costs low because breaking even would require significant price increases.

To help us make a greater impact, consider advertising in our program.

Your support will go a long way in enabling us to give back to the Westlock and Morinville food banks as much as possible.

What does it take to create a truly unforgettable festival experience? It's a journey that begins immediately after the previous year's celebration comes to a close, as we continuously strive to innovate and refine our approach. By embracing fresh ideas and insights, we're able to make each successive year even more exceptional. And, as we navigate this creative process, we're not afraid to push boundaries and explore new concepts.

This year's festival promises to be an extraordinary experience, with the return of some of our most beloved merchandise, including the ever-popular hoodies. But that's not all - we have some exciting surprises in store for you. 😉

Be sure to join us on Friday for our meet and greet, where you'll have the opportunity to snag some fantastic merchandise, including stunning silk scarves that will make for a unique and memorable keepsake. Don't miss out on the chance to secure your favorite color!

This year, we're also offering clearance items at unbeatable prices, featuring past years' items at a steal. Be sure to shop the clearance table and rack early, as these deals won't last long.

We're counting on you to make this festival a success! This event relies heavily on volunteers, and your contribution will make a real difference. If you're looking to give back to your community or simply want to be part of something special, we invite you to join our team. We understand you might want to enjoy the show, but with numerous tasks to tackle, the Taphorn family needs your support.

We're seeking volunteers for various roles, including shuttle drivers, concession workers, gate workers, merchandise sales, and sanitation.

Most importantly, we need flexible individuals who can lend a hand wherever needed 🙏 🙏🙏.

If you are a student or an organization that needs volunteer hours, please complete the form to get added to our schedule.

The Taphorn family will be filling in the gaps, but we can't make this weekend happen without your help.

Our featured ETA today!!!

Sylvain Leduc, born in Valleyfield, QC, Canada, was raised in a close-knit family of Elvis enthusiasts, which sparked his affinity for Elvis at a young age.

Since 2015, Sylvain has garnered several awards and accolades for his authentic performances. As a favourite among Elvis fans, he has received multiple People’s Choice Awards for his exceptional connection with the audience both on and off stage.
