The Family Beach Day was one of the many events held in Port Douglas over the weekend for Carnivale. Image: Alison George - Cats Eye Productions.

Despite the threat of rain, thousands from across the region and beyond converged on Port Douglas over the weekend for the Carnivale 2021 festivities.

From gourmet food events to the Property Shop Macrossan Street Parade, Four Mile Family Beach Day and Plantation Picnic in the Park, Carnivale went off with a bang.

Douglas Shire Mayor Michael Kerr said it was a sold-out weekend for all ticketed events with fantastic crowds out and about enjoying the Carnivale program from Friday through to Sunday.

He said setting the tone for the weekend was the Street Parade, which saw a huge swell of people line the street to watch the progression of floats.

“The parade was just fantastic, the community really got behind this event and the effort the participants went to with the costuming, music and decorations was just outstanding. Congratulations to everyone that took part, it was such a wonderful night,” he added.

Taking out best overall float was Port Douglas State School, best business float went to The Wildlife Habitat, best community float went to Mossman Hospital Friends of the Foundation and best individual went to Sweet K.

Adding to the atmosphere was Quicksilver Race Week, with around 30 sail boats racing just off Four Mile Beach throughout the weekend.

At the Longest Lunch, 240 guests took in the breathtaking views at Rex Smeal Park while being served four courses with matching wines.

On Saturday, it was down to the beach for lots of live entertainment, the annual sandcastle building competition, skydiving demonstration and samba in the sand. New event Dogs Day Out, which was raising money for Paws & Claws, also added to the atmosphere

It was then back to Rex Smeal Park where Spiderbait rocked on with more than 1000 people for 90 minutes with some crowd favourites – Black Betty and Buy Me A Pony.

The Wonderland Spiegeltent’s season of performances including Popcorn Underground, Blunderland and the Greatest Magic Show were all sold out.

Capping off the weekend was the Plantation Picnic in the Park, presented by Plantation Resort and Rockin’ Rick Entertainment.

“What a fantastic way to end the weekend with this new free community event celebrating our local musicians,” Mayor Kerr added.

Ellis Rocks! 19-Twenty / Boing Boing / Roshani

19-Twenty:
19-Twenty are a high-energy blues and roots band who storm the stage like a freight train. With a sound that blends foot-stomping rhythms, raw energy, and an undeniable sense of fun, 19-Twenty has quickly earned a reputation as one of the country's most exhilarating live acts.

Boing Boing:
Boing Boing, are a four piece 4 Litre Straight 6 Rock n Roll band from way up in the far north that write songs inspired by the characters and lifestyle of Northern Australia and the landscape that shapes them. Boingas blend the simplicity and timelessness of 50s rock-n-roll with BIG riffs, outback energy and a unique FNQ vernacular that has seen them deliver their 4Litre Straight 6 Rock n Roll to maddened punters all across the country.

Roshani:
She builds her sounds using a range of foot pedals, loop stations, guitars, foot percussion, synths, harmonica and lush harmonies to create a truly unique musical experience.
“Breakthrough Artist was Sri-Lankan born star in the making ROSHANI.”

The War On Rock n’ Roll is a call to arms, let’s face it, rock n’ roll has been under attack for a long time now, noise restrictions, covid, loss of venues, and the gentrification and dumbing down of music in general. Time to assemble the troops, the war on rock n roll wants YOU!

Eddie Skiba Band
Eddie Skiba has played solo sets at Panda Room gigs in the past and always wowed the crowd with his tight arrangements and hooky songs, this time he will have his full band of gun musos in tow. Eddie has earned himself a stellar reputation as a songwriter and live performer. His latest album is ‘Chasing Rainbows’, adding to previous highly acclaimed releases, ‘Blend on the Border’, ‘Bullet De Bloom’, and ‘Dig It’. Mitch Sullivan from NQ Music Press describes Skiba’s previous release as “explodes with upbeat tempos beautifully contrasted with thoughtful and hard-hitting lyrics that will have you taking notice from the first listen”. Eddie has played support gigs with esteemed artists such as Hoodoo Gurus, Diesel, Ian Moss, Jon Stevens, The Black Sorrows, The Break, Colin Hay, Mark Seymour, Nick Barker, Jim Mogine (Midnight Oil), Dragon, 10CC, Chocolate Starfish, Clint Boge, and Ed Kuepper.

Enemy Of Anemone
Enemy Of Anemone are a local alternative rock project, try saying their name 4 times fast, c’mon, I dare ya! Described by one enthusiastic punter after their last Panda Room appearance as “Sounds like a cross between Pink Floyd and Pearl Jam” Their main members are Josh McGregor (Guitar, Songwriter), Zac DeLacey (Keys, Songwriter), Adrian Mortison (Bass) and Coby Raybould (Drums).

The Panda Room Big Night Out kicks off from 6.30pm Saturday the 8th of March. Entry is free, The courtesy bus will be available for your convenience. Make sure you book: 4055 3534

Fabulous, filthy and downright hilarious! Brace yourselves for a wild ride of side-splitting hilarity as the modern-day Queen of Sass, Vanessa Larry Mitchell, takes you on a laugh-out-loud adventure of her trials and tribulations of parenting, dating and all things female.
Winner: 'Best Comedy' Newcastle Fringe 2022.

★★★★1/2 'This is the type of (fringe) show that deserves the spotlight.'- Kids in Adelaide

★★★★1/2 'Vanessa Larry Mitchell is as far from demure as you could possibly imagine, but wow, will she make you laugh.... beyond naughty and will have tears of laughter rolling down your face' - Fringefeed

★★★★ 'You will literally laugh for an hour. And that is a rare thing. Vanessa is more relaxed and direct behind a comedy mic than anyone I have seen' - The Scotsman

★★★★ 'You know when you go out to a club with a group of girlfriends and the handbags are thrown down, and you're dancing all night completely carefree as if the rest of the world don't exist, and you only stop to rest over a few drinks with teeny umbrellas, and there's always that one friend that is side-splittingly funny and holds court all evening? Yep, that's exactly what Vanessa Larry Mitchell's one-woman show feels like' - Mindshare

Four Mile Beach Monthly Clean-up

Looking for a way to be part of practical solutions for our environment? Four Mile Beach in Port Douglas is one of our longest-running QLD beach monitoring sites. We have been cleaning and collecting data from this site each month for the past 12 years.

Volunteers need to wear enclosed shoes, bring sun/rain protection, and plenty of drinking water (1 to 2 litres is recommended). We try to ensure that all Tangaroa Blue events are free from single-use plastic, so bring along your reusable water bottle. All equipment and drinking water top-ups will be provided.

To register or for any questions, please email [email protected]. Thank you for dedicating your energy towards protecting our oceans, and we look forward to seeing you out on the beach!
