Macrossan Street comes alive with dazzling entertainment for the young and the young at heart.

A true community event in the finest of Tropical North Queenslander traditions, the Macrossan Street Parade has long been the opening highlight of Port Douglas Carnivale and regularly draws eager crowds of thousands.

Be captivated by the sights and sounds, indulge in the fresh goodies on offer at the market food stalls, and be thrilled by an array of amusement rides for the whole family. The parade will be kicking off at 6:30pm followed by a spectacular fireworks display at 8pm driving the party into high gear. The street fun continues into the night with the amusements  rides, food stalls and Port Douglas restaurants and bars.

This year’s theme is “Classic Carnivale” – Relive your classic Carnivale moment, could be a float you want to create again, dress up as a Classic Carnivale attendee, a celebrity who attended…or recreate an event, ie: beach day on the back of a truck with sand and people playing beach cricket, or what is Classic Carnivale for you? Is it the reef, the Country, Sugar Cane or a Rainforest creature, what’s classic about our region and what makes Carnivale the Classic Tropical North Queensland celebration.
