Port Douglas Carnivale Various venues, Port Douglas May 26-28 carnivale.com.au

This three-day carnival is billed as a “party in paradise” and who could argue with that? This celebration is all about diversity and fun so prepare for a great mix of music, food and action, including the Fisherman’s Village Music Festival, Paradise on a Plate – The Longest Lunch and the WindSwell kitesurfing sessions. Kids will love the sand-sculpting competition on Four Mile Beach.
