Best parade entrants in the spotlight

They sang, they danced, they even rolled down the main street, but best of all they looked spectacular.

The Parkes Elvis Festival Street Parade is one of the biggest highlights of the festival, taking place every year on the Saturday morning and attracting hundreds of entrants and thousands of spectators.

And every year there are some cracker outfits and floats.

Once the parade leads down to Cooke Park the winning entries in a range of categories are announced.

Here are this year's winners.

The awards were presented by a representative from a sponsor of the festival Central West Credit Union.

- Best Dressed Shop Staff: Central West Credit Union.

- Best Walker winner: Sailor Girls and Scuba Men.

- Best Walking Entry runner-up: Dooley and Co.
