Animals of Ecuador Day

Elvis Presley's Birthday

Graceland hosts events. Memphis treats this like a municipal holiday. Across the South, diners serve Elvis's favorite peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Tribute artists perform in jumpsuits from Pensacola to Portland. Nobody acknowledges that Elvis also died on August 16th, which means Elvis fans get two days a year, and they need both.
