Family fun at Carnivale 2025
A JAM-PACKED program of free family entertainment will take centre stage during Port Douglas Carnivale from this weekend.
The action kicks off on Friday afternoon with the ACE DJ-led Kids Disco from 4.30pm to 6.30pm outside Rattle N Hum on Macrossan Street, before the Macrossan Street Parade lights up the evening with floats, dancers and performers.
Visitors can take in the sideshow alley and for the first time, a fireworks display, launched from a barge, will be best viewed in areas around Rex Smeal Park.
On Saturday, Four Mile Beach will be transformed into a playground for The Tin Shed’s Family Beach Day. From 9am to 3pm, families can enjoy activities, including sandcastle competitions with prizes, giant kite displays from Kites Queensland, water sports with Windswell, market stalls, food trucks and free live entertainment.
Across Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, the Sugar Wharf and a feature wall in Macrossan Street will be illuminated with Tropic Lights offering a spectacular display of marine life after dark.
On Sunday, families can cool off at the Poolside Fiesta from 11am to 4pm at Oaks Resort Port Douglas, with live music, food drinks, or visit Tropical Destinations Photography Exhibition at the Port Douglas Community Hall or the popular Go Troppo Art Exhibition and Market at the Sugar Wharf.
