“This definitely will become an annual event,” said Carnival’s organiser Taciano Cavalcante.
“Considering we hadn’t had a carnival in 20 years, it was very well received by Brazilians, Latinos and the Cairns community.
“Carnival has reignited the Brazilian community and started a movement,” he said.
