With the help of this year's winner of the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist competition at Parkes Paul Fenech and two hula-dancing youngsters, the program of the 2023 Parkes Elvis Festival was launched in style. Next year marks the 30th anniversary of the world-renowned event. The launch included speeches, the announcement of some new exciting events and the unveiling of the program, in the presence of Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole, Parkes Mayor Ken Keith OAM, and long-term volunteers and supporters of the festival.
