The official 2015 Festival Calendar is also now available.

The program is available for $5 and the calendar $10 from the Parkes Visitor Information Centre. 

You can also order copies online from the festival website www.parkeselvisfestival.com.au and receive by post in time for Christmas.

Equipping yourself with the program, which is the ultimate guide of events throughout the Festival, is the best way to plan your experience and make sure you don't miss out on any of the highlights over the five days.

“With more than 150 events taking place over the five days, it’s a huge line-up,” Beth Link, Acting Parkes Tourism Manager said.

“The program for 2015 contains all the famous Festival favourites and some exciting new events which will mark Elvis's 80th birthday. 

“You really need to consult the program to plan which events you would like to attend to make the most of all the Festival has to offer.

“The souvenir program not only contains full program information, but stories related to the Festival, and profiles on guest artists and Festival visitors; it really is a must read,” Miss Link said.

“By contacting the Visitor Information Centre, local businesses can also bulk purchase copies of the program or calendar at a discounted rate to on-sell from their outlets. 

“The 2015 theme, Roustabout, will ensure Parkes comes alive with colour and nostalgic carnival fun. 

“It is a Festival not to be missed.”
