Parkes Elvis Festival
Put on your blue suede shoes for five days of fun-filled tributes to The King.
Overview
The recent opening of the Elvis Presley exhibition at the Bendigo Art Gallery shows that interest in The King is as fervent as ever, meaning it's an ideal time to put on your blue suede shoes and head to the 29th Parkes Elvis Festival. Usually held in the second week of January to honour the King's birthday, this year the event will bring a whole lot of rhythm and blues to April instead.
The theme is Elvis's 1968 film Speedway (which also starred Nancy Sinatra), and there's far more than just music on offer at the multi-day event. The entire town of Parkes will go into Elvis overdrive with vintage markets, live music, exhibitions, film screenings, trivia competitions and performances by reigning Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Champion, Taylor Rodriguez from the USA.
Check out the lineup to plan your visit.
