Carnival comes to Cairns
Cairns takes centre stage in Tropical North Queensland from Saturday August 25 when the region’s largest annual community event kicks off for 22 days of action, culminating in a 24-hour finale on Saturday September 15.
Festival Cairns is now in its sixth year, and each year the event adds even more spice to the city’s natural ambience, beautiful scenery and balmy spring weather.
Making its debut in Festival Cairns’s 07 programme, Sportsfest will start in adrenalin-charged style as athletes take their marks on the Esplanade in a contest of the fittest.
Across town at Cannon Park Racecourse, another event newcomer, the annual TimeOut Concert promises a rather large dose of music including Aussie hip-hop crew, the Hilltop Hoods and Melbourne funk outfit, The Cat Empire.
And while all this is going on, the good life crowd will be gathering on the northern end of the Esplanade — at this year’s Food, Wine and All That Jazz event.
For those who enjoy a flutter on the horses, the Cairns Amateurs Spring Race Carnival is part of the festival, and takes place on September 7 and 8. It's popular for the highly contested Fashions on the Field, socializing and celebrity spotting – and, of course, the horses.
