Welcome :: The Voice of Elvis...John Van Thiel...Wisconsin Elvis Tribute Artist

"Return to Paradise: Treasures of Elvis' Hawaii" Dinner Concert, Saturday, September 12, Racine

Leave the mainland behind and escape to the Islands before summer is gone! Elvis entertainer John Van Thiel presents “Return to Paradise: Treasures of Elvis’ Hawaii,” a dinner show to be held on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at Infusino’s Banquet Hall, 3201 Rapids Dr., Racine. Doors open at 4:30 p.m., dinner is served shortly after, and the show begins at 6 p.m.

Hawaii was the backdrop for some of the most memorable chapters in Elvis Presley’s career. From historic concerts to movie-making magic, Elvis had a long association with our fiftieth state. Along the way, he fell in love with the Islands and their people. He returned again and again, not only to perform, but simply because he found a place he felt at home. “Return to Paradise” brings that special connection to life with a fresh celebration that mixes favorite songs, fascinating stories, and musical gems inspired by the King’s Hawaiian years. Among those gems is a new original song written by John especially for the show, along with other discoveries to delight and surprise even longtime Elvis fans.

Guests will enjoy an all-you-can-eat buffet featuring roast pork loin and gravy, seasoned baked chicken, Italian salad, parsley potatoes, green beans, bread and butter, coffee, and a tropical dessert.

Bring your ohana, come dressed in your favorite Hawaiian shirt or outfit, and join us for a night in paradise—great food, good friends, and special moments you won’t want to miss.

Admission is $60 and must be purchased by noon on Thursday, September 10. Seating is reserved and assigned in the order tickets are purchased. Reserve your spot through the online store, by phone at 262.676.2690, or by mail (see below). Aloha!
