Family tradition shines bright at Parkes Elvis Festival

Every year at the Parkes Elvis Festival there is sure to be some eye-catching outfits around every corner, but with every outfit there is a story to be told.

Karen and her four daughters have been coming to the Parkes Elvis Festival for 15 years and every year we are waiting in anticipation to see what dresses they are rocking.

The family is from Melbourne and every year Karen makes new matching dresses for her four daughters, Veronica, Diane, Janie and Kylie.

Last year you might have seen them around the festival in their stunning avocado dresses but this year you will see them in beautiful daisy dresses and matching wigs.

Veronica said her mum made her and her sisters clothes growing up and she is still making clothes for the four sisters at 80 years of age.

As soon as the ladies leave the festival they are already brainstorming what their dresses will be for the next Elvis Festival.

The family love coming up to the Parkes Elvis Festival every year as they catch up with familiar faces and they love the happy atmosphere.

The ladies appreciate the effort the small local community goes to every year to put on a fantastic festival as they grew up in a small town in Victoria.

We look forward to seeing what Karen creates for her and her daughters for next year's festival!
