The Cairns Ecofiesta is Queensland's premier sustainability festival, a free-entry event held on the doorstep of two World Heritage areas - the Great Barrier Reef and Wet Tropics Rainforest.

The city’s tropical Munro Martin Parklands comes alive with performance, hands-on workshops, local food and family fun. Explore clean tech, chat with experts in the net zero transition and wander through market stalls offering sustainable living solutions.

You'll be inspired by our local leaders and leave with new skills for a lighter impact on this important environment.

Applications to be a part of Cairns Ecofiesta 2025 will open towards the end of February.
