Fans are catching on fast so here it is… We're gonna move Parkes Elvis Festival to 20-24 April 2022.
.
When it rains, it really pours - current risks, changing regulations, lockdowns and border restrictions has left us with suspicious minds. We know you have a burning love to come to Parkes in January, but your safety and well-being is always on our minds. So, we are having a change of habit and moving the Festival to April for this year only.
.
We know you'll be wondering where do I go from here?
.
Existing accommodation bookings in Parkes, Forbes, Trundle, Tullamore, and Peak Hill will be carried over to April. If you can't make it, get in touch with your accommodation provider to make alternate arrangements.
.
Want to join us in April for the good times but haven't booked accommodation? There is motel accommodation available in Peak Hill and Tullamore, unpowered caravan sites in Parkes (Pioneer Oval, McGlynn Park and Harrison Park), powered sites at the Peak Hill and Forbes showgrounds and, vacancies at Gracelands on the Green where you arrive to your tent set up. You'll find contact details https://bit.ly/22accom
.
Good lawdy miss clawdy we have a rockin' line up of entertainment planned with show announcements starting soon. Tickets on sale from 15 November 2021.
.
I'm counting on you to stay safe and spend Christmas and the New Year reuniting with loved ones so you can shake, rattle and roll your way to Parkes in April.
.
Don't worry, the 2023 Festival will return to the traditional January date. Lock in the new dates of 4-8 January 2023 and help us celebrate the Festival's 30th year!

Happy Father's Day to all of the dads, stepdads, g

Happy Father's Day to all of the dads, stepdads, grandfathers and special men in your life ❤️

The Festival Team is sending a 'Hunka Hunka Burning Love' to all our fans who are stuck inside with the 'Moody Blues'.
.
You must feel like ‘I Gotta Know’ what we are doing behind the scenes, and you want to know ‘What Now, What Next, Where To'?
.
The truth is we're ‘Doin' The Best I Can’ to work behind the scenes to make sure that its safe for fans to return. Only ‘Fools Rush In’ so we are continuing to monitor the situation.
.
Our decision date is set for October - so rest assured you are ‘Always On My Mind’.
.
Let’s keep it positive and ‘Talk About The Good Times’ because we've all 'Got a Lot o'Livin' to Do!' when this lockdown is over.
.
In the meantime, we hope you 'Can't Help Falling in Love' with the weekend challenges (starting this weekend) with prizes that will leave you 'All Shook Up'.
