The Elvis Trivia Contest this year is a pub-style team trivia contest, so start putting your team together now! The highlight of the celebration is the Elvis Impersonation Contest. Ten Elvis impersonators will be performing with a live band, all competing for a $1,000 cash prize.

Past contestants have ranged from professional Elvis impersonators to first-time performers. But no matter who shows up to compete, you can count on a truly entertaining show! Each performer will sing a different song from Elvis’s career, all backed by the local band Buzzy & the Buzztones. Buzzy Martin and his band have a long history with this contest, and a reputation for helping each contestant sound great!  If you are interested in entering the contest, email specialevents@SonomaCountyFair.com for more information.
