The 25th Parkes Elvis Festival will hit New South Wales in January.

The Parkes Elvis Festival will take place over the King’s birthday and will feature headliners Jake Rowley and Pete Storm, two of the world’s biggest Elvis performers.

The festival will feature a themed Viva Las Vegas night on the Thursday, with the Friday night focusing on Elvis’ greatest live performances. Saturday will showcase Elvis: From Hollywood To Vegas, and the weekend will be wrapped up with a matinee performance of A Pair Of Kings.

Budding Presleys will even have a chance to show off their own talents in the preliminary rounds of the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist competition. The winner will have the chance to represent Parkes in the semi-final in Memphis.

The festival will feature more than 120 events, ranging from the Elvis Gospel Service to the Goodsell Machinery Miss Priscilla Dinner, dancing and competitions.

The King lives from Wednesday January 11 – Sunday January 15 in Parkes. Visit parkeselvisfestival.com.au for full details.
