Convention of Celebrity Impersonators 2024

So Elvis Presley, George W. Bush, Lady Gaga and Tina Turner walk into a bar…. Is this the latest joke circulating on TikTok?  No.  It’s probably a night at The 20^th Annual Sunburst Convention of Celebrity Impersonators. This annual convention is taking place again in Orlando.  It is being held on property at The Florida Hotel and Conference Center attached to The Florida Mall.

The public is invited to attend parts of the convention where they will see over 75 professional celebrity impersonators on stage.  All entertainers are available for photos and will be mixing and mingling after the showcase each day which will be Friday and Saturday, September 6^th and 7^th.

For the second year, the convention will feature what is being billed as The Biggest Night Of The Year for The Celebrity Tribute Industry.  The Sunburst Gala of Celebrity Impersonators is open to the public to attend.  Tickets are only $35 and include a Red Carpet Walk, numerous photo stations, a live DJ and dance motivator, live performances by top impersonators, a cash bar and several dozen professional celebrity impersonators in full costume and character, mixing and mingling with the guests.

The convention is held each year as a way for professional celebrity impersonators from across the country to meet face to face, to have fun and get up to date on the latest marketing and promotional trends.  These professional entertainers are booked at corporate events, fairs, festivals, casinos, cruise ships and night clubs across the US, making it a multi-million (if not billion) dollar industry.

Greg and Jackie Thompson are producers of the convention, having started it back in 2004.  The convention has been featured on CNN, The Rachael Ray Show, FUSE TV, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Daily Buzz and many more television shows.  It was the featured subject of “Just About Famous”, a documentary short that is winning awards at film festivals across the United States, and has also been featured and written about in numerous magazine and newspapers all over the world.

Sunburst 2019

As the Sunburst Convention approaches, I am getting more and more excited.

We have a record of new attendees this year. 24! We call them newbies.
we have a total of 73 attendees not including all of the staff.

Or promo room is going to be more like a promo lounge with soft music and networking.

Our lobby should have lots of excitement and fun all around with vendors, services and information.

There is more to be done.... Woo hoo!  Here we go!
