Become a Lego master
It’ll be a jam-packed Sunday of creativity and family fun at this year’s Cairns Children’s Festival (May 17 and 18), with the Tanks Arts Centre coming alive with activities, entertainment, and plenty of hands-on adventures.

One of the biggest highlights of the full day of free entertainment for our littlest creatives is Brickmania – a celebration of imagination, engineering, and all things Lego.
Budding builders and curious creators will get the chance to meet special guest Damian Hinds, a familiar face from Lego Masters Australia.
As one-half of last year’s incredible runner-up team, Damian’s passion for Lego stretches well beyond the television screen.
Since his time on the show, Damian has launched a business dedicated to spreading the joy of Lego through workshops, community events, and school programs across Australia.
At Brickmania, Damian will be on hand to share insider stories from his time on Lego Masters, offer building tips and tricks, and inspire the next generation of master builders.

Whether you’re a seasoned Lego fan or just getting started, there’s plenty of opportunity to get creative, build something amazing, and maybe even learn a few competition secrets along the way.
But the fun doesn’t stop there. Sunday at the Cairns Children’s Festival is packed with exciting activities – from live performances and interactive arts workshops to storytelling sessions and roving entertainers.
The lush surrounds of the Tanks provide the perfect backdrop for families to explore, discover, and create unforgettable memories together.
Whether you’re crafting your own colourful masterpiece, joining in a musical adventure, or simply soaking up the festival atmosphere, there’s something magical waiting for kids of all ages.
Best of all, the majority of activities are free – making it the perfect family day out.
Mark your calendars, gather the family and get ready to let imaginations run wild at Tanks Arts Centre on Sunday May 18.
The Cairns Children’s Festival promises a day bursting with colour, creativity, and community.
