Port Douglas Carnivale - Village Celebrates
Port Douglas Carnivale began in 1993 and initially was designed
to celebrate the opening of the tourist season and market Port
Douglas as a holiday destination to both domestic and
international visitors. Carnivale is an award winning event and
it is a week long party often described as the most exciting
event of the year in Port Douglas. A unique affair Port Douglas
Carnivale is a celebration that attracts and inspires an
enormous amount of participation from the local residents,
businesses and industry. Almost the entire community actively
takes part: be it in an event or as a spectator. As a result,
the turnout grows from year to year and many tourists make a
point of returning each year to be involved in the celebration
of culture, wine and cuisine. This year the theme is "Stars
under the stars" and will include the introduction of new events
such as the "Over The Fence" Comedy Film Festival which will be
held at the Karnak Playhouse, Port Douglas Outdoor Cinema and a
"Captive of the Headhunters' Exhibit in Cow Bay. Please see
table below for a comprehensive event guide. The launch of the
Port Douglas Carnivale is the Carnivale Masquerade Cocktail
Party is with this years theme of "Art of Masquerade". Held at
the historical old Sugar Wharf. All time favourite events
including the street fiesta which will see the main street of
Port Douglas (Macrossan Street) blocked off to vehicles and
turned into a mammoth street party. All night alfresco dining
from over 80 restaurants and food stalls, fine wine, live music,
street theatre, fireworks and the highlight that is the float
and parade ensures that the Port Douglas Carnivale is always
spectacular. On Saturday evening among the swaying palms "Food,
Wine & A Taste of Port" serves up an exciting taste sensation as
the full moon rises over the coral sea and you can experience
the reason why Port Douglas is renowned for being amongst the
best dining in Australia. Many other events not to be missed
include the Blessing of the
fleet, the Marina Mirage longest
lunch, the Four Mile Beach family fun day, the Marina Mirage
Seafood Extravaganza, not to mention the Port Douglas golf
challenge, regatta, fishing competition and twilight sail.
Port Douglas Carnivale has something for everyone and is a
tropical celebration of tropical life.
