Hundreds of Elvis Presley impersonators paraded down the main street of Parkes on Saturday, as the Australian country town celebrated 30 years hosting an Elvis-tribute gala that has become one of the country's biggest festivals. “It’s fantastic,” said Bob Steele, who founded the festival with his wife Anne after a dinner party where the guests ended up singing Elvis songs long into the night. “Fancy getting to 30 years with a festival, we’re just so pleased with it.” The festival takes place each year in early January, with some 24,000 fans descending on the town normally home to about 14,000.
