Vega, with assistance from the Los Fresnos Area [[Chamber of Commerce]] and the City of Los Fresnos (meaning "ash trees"), held two Elvis festivals annually in January and August, the months of Presley's birth and death. The festivities have included live music, food and beverages, a lookalike contest, a sing-alike competition, automobile shows, trivia questions, and museum tours. The highlight of the festivities was the impersonators that come from far and wide to perform the Elvis hits on stage.<ref>''Texas State Travel Guide, 2008'', p. 59.</ref>
