All Shook Up - The Parkes Elvis Festival.

The Parkes Elvis Festival is held every year around 8^th January. The 8^th January is the birthdate of Elvis Presley. This year was the 27^th year the festival has been held, and the theme was ‘All Shook Up’. This was the second Elvis Festival we have been to. We stayed both times at Spicers Van Park, a short walk / drive to the main areas and a bus will pick you up from the van park. Spicers has bbq’s and visiting performers in the camp kitchen most evening – for a gold coin donation.

There is so much to see in Parkes and going when the festival is on is extra special. There is a lot of free entertainment and the clubs provide great food and both free and paid entertainment.

A market with heaps of Elvis and 60’s souvenirs runs three or four days in the main entertainment park. We will let the photos tell the story…..
