| The Cairns Festival |
The Cairns region is nestled
between the World Heritage listed attractions of wet tropics rainforest and Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Australia. It greets its early spring guests with a
tropical warmth that extends beyond the climate. The Cairns Festival aims to
share its lifestyle with visitors, who on arrival, are invited to soak up the
bevy of culture and entertainment on offer between Friday 17 August and Sunday
2 September, 2012.
The Cairns Festival has a diverse, multi-dimensional program
of free and ticketed events spanning dance, theatre, film, literary arts and collaborations.
Leslie Sparkes. Cairns Regional Council's Creative Cairns
Manager, said the 2012 Cairns Festival
program would include events at key cultural hubs, such as Cairns Civic
Theatre, Tanks Arts Centre, Centre of Contemporary Arts and Cairns Esplanade
precinct.

Along with a line-up of new events, Cairns Festival's 2012
program will feature a number of annual highlights - namely Cairns Indigenous
Art Fair, opening Grand Parade and fireworks, 'Esplanart' outdoor exhibition of
visual art, Tropical Pride Festival, Carnival on Collins, Muddy's Art Village
for children and more.
"Along with producing a program that reflects Cairns'
sense of place while driving tourism, our major objective in 2012 is to boost
Festival's presence; to provide greater visibility throughout our city and
surrounds. After all, we want absolutely everyone - locals and visitors alike -
to know the festival is on."
