On December 7, 2024, the historic Lord Baltimore Hotel came alive with the spirit of Elvis Presley for The 28th Night of 100 ELVISes. This annual celebration brought together Elvis enthusiasts and tribute artists from all over the country for a night of music, dance, and rock ‘n’ roll revelry. With three stages hosting live performances, the event showcased a diverse lineup of entertainers, all generously donating their time and talents to honor the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll.

Beyond the music, the evening featured a lively dance party that kept the energy high and guests on their feet. Artist Jess Pfohl added to the creative magic with a live painting session, capturing the dynamic atmosphere in real time. From glittering jumpsuits and pompadour wigs to soulful renditions of iconic hits, the performers and attendees alike embraced the legacy of Elvis with flair and creativity. The night was a testament to the enduring power of music, art, and community spirit, celebrating the King in unforgettable style.
