Cairns Festival Parade - August 21
Cairns was celebrating 50 years under the sun. This was a 17 day festival with a variety of activities from parades, fireworks, music festivals, and much more.

| Prime seats - waiting for the parade to start |
We went to the evening parade along the Esplanade. It started shortly after 5:00 pm and lasted just over an hour and a half. The sun was setting as the parade finished.
There were many groups & organizations represented including Chinese Lion Dancers, belly dancers, BMX club, Lions Club, a library float, 3 radio stations and at least 2 school bands. There weren't any horses or street cleaners as we'd see back home. They did hand out brochures & a few lollies/candy.
