Larger, better expos are all about child’s play
THE beloved KidsLife Expo will return next weekend, bigger, better and bursting with two days of family fun.
CityLife and KidsLife publisher Danae Jones said the event was being expanded this year to include the Cairns Pregnancy and Baby Expo.
She said the 2025 program would feature educational workshops and expert speakers, market stalls and local exhibitors, craft activities, kids’ entertainment and live shows, food vendors and street performers, plus face painting, a jumping castle, DJ ACE, the White Wizard Magic Show, balloon sculpting, lawn games, Kooee the Kangaroo and more.
Dates:
Saturday, June 7 – ‘Thrive Through The Ages’ Speakers Day at Seville Mercy Centre
Sunday, June 8 - KidsLife Expo at Fred Moule Pavilion, Cairns Showgrounds.
“We are also proud to once again be raising money for the Far North Queensland Hospital Foundation’s special care nursery at Cairns Hospital, with proceeds from raffles and fundraising efforts going directly to this vital cause,” Ms Jones said.
“This event is truly about community. We know how hard things are for families right now with cost of living pressures, and we want to give them something uplifting, exciting and affordable to look forward to.
“For $10 per person, they can be treated to a full day of entertainment for all ages. Children under two are free.
“It’s also a fantastic way for local businesses to connect with families in a really meaningful way. We also have back again our kid entrepreneurs selling their wares and getting amongst the market stall action.”
CityLife & KidsLife Events Manager Victoria Jennings said she was excited to bring a bigger and better KidsLife Expo to Cairns.
“As a mother of three, I know what it is like looking for exciting affordable activities to do in our region, that is enjoyable for, not just the kids, but also the parents, and the KidsLife Expo reflects this,” she said.
“Our ‘Thrive Through The Ages’ Day is an affordable way for parents to reach renowned experts and is such a valuable addition to the expo.”
