Start Day With Amazing Forbes Elvis Breakfast

January 9, 2019 By Maggi Barnard

The Amazing Forbes Elvis Breakfast will once again wow visitors to Forbes on Saturday, 12th January. Set to bring you all the fun of a 60s, 70s retro carnival, the Amazing Forbes Elvis Breakfast will feature food vans, live entertainment, kids activities and more – all in the heart of the Forbes Central Business District (CBD).

Join us in Templar and Rankin Streets from 7am for free live entertainment from International Elvis Tribute Artist Che Orton, followed by chilled tunes from local artist Adam Enslow until midday. Tantalize your taste buds with visiting food vans featuring fairy floss, bagels, old-fashioned lemonade and popcorn as well as local retailers featuring special Elvis-inspired menus.

The kids will be kept entertained with face painting and free rides including a massive jumping castle and bucking bull, along with retro carnival-inspired activities throughout the morning. “We are thrilled to be hosting the amazing
Forbes Elvis Street Breakfast once again,” said Mayor of Forbes Phyllis Miller OAM.

“Last year was a raging success and this year is set to be just as much fun.” “I’m especially looking forward to trying
out some special Elvis-inspired treats from our local cafes, and we have a great range of local food vans joining the party including Sweet 3 Vintage Van, Benny’s Bagels and Bakery, and Steve’s Mega Treats,” she said.

Take advantage of special deals and discounts from local retailers, only available during the Festival period from Thursday, 10th to Sunday, 13th January.

You will also be able to enjoy a relaxed breakfast before the special shuttle bus departs at 9am to transport festival goers from the Forbes CBD to Parkes, arriving right on time for the Northparkes Street Parade.

For more information about the Amazing Forbes Elvis Breakfast, contact Forbes Shire Council on 6850 2300.
