But first, the weather. We can expect partly cloudy conditions and a high (70%) chance of light showers on Saturday, with a max of 30C. On Sunday, it's expected to be cloudy with a high (80%) chance of showers and thunderstorms.
So it might pay to bring your umbrella to the headline act of the weekend: which is of course The Cat Empire, the big finale of the hugely successful Festival 2018 and Commonwealth Games celebrations down at the Esplanade on Sunday.
Apart from old school rockers like Jon Stevens and Daryl Braithwaite on the weekend, you can also catch Cairns FC in action at Barlow Park.
