Elvis Festival Rail Tour
with Vintage Rail Journeys - 7 January 2027
Step aboard Vintage Rail Journeys for a one-of-a-kind trip to the legendary Parkes Elvis Festival. Each January, fans from across the world gather to celebrate the King of Rock and Roll, and this journey is just as much a celebration as the festival itself. From the moment you board the beautifully restored vintage carriages in Sydney, you’ll be transported back to an era of elegant, unhurried rail travel, where comfort, camaraderie, and style are part of the adventure.
As the train rolls through the countryside, enjoy hearty meals, themed entertainment and the company of fellow Elvis enthusiasts. Every moment onboard is infused with the excitement and rhythm of rock and roll, setting the stage for the festival that awaits.
Arriving in Parkes, you’ll step straight into the heart of the action, with parades, tribute artists, competitions, and music filling the streets. The Elvis Festival Rail Tour isn’t just a way to get there, it’s part of the celebration itself. From laughter in the dining car to friendships formed along the way, this is a journey where the magic of rail travel and the joy of the festival come together, making the trip as memorable as the destination.
