Let’s party
IT is party time in Port Douglas as the seaside town prepares to celebrate all things tropical with Port Douglas Carnivale in full swing this weekend.
The festivities officially kick off on Friday (May 23) with The Longest Lunch at Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort Port Douglas, serving up a showcase of local produce and award-winning cuisine along the resort’s iconic palm-lined entry way.
Later that afternoon, the famous Macrossan Street Parade will take over the town centre from 6.30pm, with the theme ‘Tropical Treasures’ set to inspire a colourful display of floats, costumes, dancers and performers.
This year, for the first time, fireworks will launch from a barge on the water, with the park areas in and around Rex Smeal Park offering the best vantage point.
Families can get the party started early with the ACE DJ-led Kids Disco outside Rattle N Hum from 4.30pm, and Sideshow Alley will be open at Market Park for rides and amusements from this Wednesday.
On Saturday Four Mile Beach transforms into a playground for The Tin Shed Family Beach Day, featuring giant kites, sand sculpting, water sports, games and live entertainment on the beach.
