  • Cairns Festival is a series of festivals celebrating Cairn’s attractions and talents. Local musicians, artists, and comedians hold shows in various city points during the festival. Cairns Esplanade hosts the main features, including the Grand Parade, the Festival Family Concert, and Film Nights.

    All these features local music, plays, comedy shows, and art displays of local artists. The event lasts ten days, with the Grand Parade being the festival's highlight and showcases different performers on floats with some family-friendly performances. The event program is often unplanned, but there are many add ons which make for pleasant surprises. There are markets open, and you can get plenty of local artistic objects as souvenirs.
