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


It's going to be a mixed sort of weekend... high chances of rain but not a deluge. We're forecast to get a maximum of 30C on Saturday with up to 15mm of rain, and 31C on Sunday when 1mm to 5mm of rain is expected to fall.

In this edition of Tropic Weekender, we've listed a bunch of cool events, such as the Gratitude and Grief performance by Katie Noonan and Michael Leunig, and Danny Bani live at Hemingways Brewery at Cairns Wharf. 

Whatever you do, make it an awesome tropical weekend!
