Cairns Children's Festival
While Cairns Festival is the biggest event on Cairns' calendar, it also has a little offspring!
The Cairns Children's Festival is an annual celebration for children aged 12 years and under. The festival aims to put our youngest creatives in the spotlight whilst also creating a safe and fun environment for families to explore, create and imagine.
Events and activities are held across multiple locations including; Tanks Arts Centre, Cairns Performing Arts Centre and Cairns Botanic Gardens.
Annually, the Cairns Children's Festival invites local artists to design installations and activities as well as opportunities for our youngest creatives to be part of the festival.
Cairns Children's Festival 2026: Sat 16 & Sun 17 May
