22 - 24 MAY 2026
Port Douglas Carnivale returns in 2026 for a spectacular weekend of music, culture and coastal celebration.
Taking centre stage is the highly anticipated return of Savannah Sounds, a three-day live music experience set against the breathtaking waterfront backdrop of Rex Smeal Park.
From relaxed beachside days to vibrant tropical nights, Carnivale captures the very best of the region’s laid-back energy and festive spirit. Signature favourites, including The Longest Lunch, the Macrossan Street Parade and Four Mile Beach Day, once again set the scene for a weekend that feels unmistakably Port Douglas.
What to expect:
• Three days of live music at Savannah Sounds
• A vibrant mix of food, art and family-friendly entertainment
• The perfect excuse for a tropical escape
