Town gets ready to celebrate
IT is party time in Port Douglas as the seaside town prepares to celebrate all things tropical with Port Douglas Carnivale in full swing from next 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 entryway.
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 as well as Savannah Sounds at Rex Smeal Park over three days.
