Cairns, located in the Queensland province of Australia, holds some of the
most spectacular festivals and events in the country. Ranging from horticultural
events to food and wine festivals, from cultural shows to sporting events, the
festivities of this city are famed worldwide and tourists and visitors to the
region schedule their itinerary to coincide with some of these awesome events.
While the Cairns Tropical Garden Show attempts to bring gardening and horticulture
close to the layman by promoting gardening gadgets and equipments, schools and
holds magnificent displays in May every year, the Cairns Show Wine Awards, held
in the last weekend of June provides recognition to the various categories of
luxuriant wines produced in Australia every year.
Both these events hold out awards and merits in the respective spheres. Companies
producing garden pumps and such gizmos ensure they put up a stall in the Cairns
Tropical Garden Show while the leading wine manufacturers consider it a privilege
to enter their brand in the Cairns Show Wine Awards and winning is the archetypical
feather on the cap. Festival Cairns is probably the highlight of the various
events held in this city.
Three weeks of cultural and sporting revelry and a number of events covering
categories such as family, films, sports, music and performing arts puts Cairns,
the natives and their culture and heritage under international spotlight. Iconic
performances by national and international artists and fireworks display top
off the grand finale.
