The Elvis Explosion didn’t happen this year at the La Crosse Center, but the Holiday Fair is still a possibility.

So are the holiday wrestling tournaments and a bull-riding event.

Center director Art Fahey says the goal is to keep the number of attendees at large events to either 25 percent of capacity, or a maximum of 50 people during the COVID-19 outbreak.

The Holiday Fair normally happens just before Thanksgiving, and the wrestling tournament is after Christmas.

Fahey also wants to have winter graduation from UW-L as usual in December inside the arena.

The coronavirus and a major renovation project have kept the La Crosse Center from hosting large events for most of this year.
