CENTRAL WEST CREDIT UNION SUPPORT OF VOLUNTEER PROGRAM

The Festival is super excited to announce that the Central West Credit Union is continuing to support the Parkes Elvis Festival volunteer program for a further three years. Read full story here.

Our very own Festival Marketing and Sponsorship Coordinator Tiffany took part in a campaign to encourage tourists to visit Parkes.

Tiffany grew up rocking and rolling with her parents Bob and Anne who founded the Parkes Elvis Festival in 1993.

She loves the vintage culture and friendly vibe of Parkes. Her tip tops for visitors are to explore the Henry Parkes Museums including the Kings Castle which is Australia’s only permanent exhibition of artifacts that were owned by Elvis Presley, uncover the Shire's public art trail, pop into Colouby Creations for a spot of vintage shopping, sip on a cocktail or two at Hart Bar and stay where the Festival began at Hotel Gracelands. #WeWantYouBack
