Parkes Phoenix

Question of the Week?

January 9, 2019 By Maggi Barnard

What do you like the most about the Parkes Elvis Festival?

Graham Lawrence from the Gold Coast:
It is my 7th time here and this year I will be assistant Elvis Ambassador. I love the festival because it is a tribute to Elvis and the biggest in Australia. I went to Memphis last year with 135,000 other people and stood seven hours in a line to put a candle on Elvis’ grave – it was all worth it!

Cathy Gaylard from Brisbane:
I am here for the sixth time because I love Elvis, and we love the entertainment at the Parkes Showgrounds. It is also a very friendly town and we have friends here.

Elvis Singer from Adelaide:
It is my fist time here. I’ve been planning to come for a long time and will be busking this year. As a member of the Elvis Fan Club in Adelaide, I came for Elvis and to perform.
