Tropic Weekender: Your insider guide to the best events this weekend
The weather has been very temperamental lately so you can expect mostly cloudy skies on Saturday and showers on Sunday with maximum temperatures of 27C.
If you haven't already, get in quick to book your ticket to 'Joh for PM' at JUTE Theatre inside the Centre of Contemporary Arts or head out to the Cairns Cup at Cannon Park on Saturday.
On Sunday, there's a very cool Sunday Session planned at Ochre Restaurant with up-and-coming songstress Rebecca Langtree performing live, while our friends at Mr Soy Boy are having a seven-course 'Vegustation' dinner.
Whatever you decide to do, make sure you have a great tropical weekend!
