Tropic Weekender: Your curated guide to the best events across the Cairns region this weekend


It's going to be a hot one in Cairns this weekend!

The weather bureau predicts max temps of 32C across Saturday and Sunday, so make sure you stay hydrated and avoid too many of the sun's rays.

The Grass is Greener festival is the big event of the weekend, happening at the Cairns Showgrounds on Saturday, but if that's not your thing we've rounded up plenty of other cool activities to check out across TNQ.

Whatever you do, make it an awesome tropical weekend!
