Douglas Shire Mayor Lisa Scomazzon said following the huge successful 2024 Port Douglas Carnivale, “we need to maintain the momentum and present an event that really drives visitors to the region”.
“After partnering with Savannah Sounds and the inclusion of the amazing Maho Magic Bar, along with all the regular favourites, this year’s Carnivale is already shaping up to be another great event,” she said.
“Now, more than ever, it’s important we attract as many visitors to the region as we can to get the town humming.
“Carnivale is the largest event in the Douglas Shire and a great incentive for visitors to return.
“It’s also a great event for locals to enjoy also and provides an opportunity for our community to come together and celebrate where they live, and the wonderful people who live here.
“In an incredibly competitive space, carnivale continues to present a quality program that stacks up against other regional events of a similar size and budget.
“As part of this is the event’s long and continued history and the hard work of locals going back 30 years who pioneered the concept and had the vision to develop a reason for people to visit outside of the usual season.
“Our region needs Carnivale to be as good as it can be, given the importance of the event as a promotional vehicle, for what it brings to the community and from an economic standpoint.
“We need business leaders and community focused partners to embrace the Carnivale so the event can improve each year and continue to wave the flag for our region.
“We have another terrific Carnivale planned and ready to go again for this year a new look to a few favourites, some new events and the return of old ones.
“But we have some other things in the works that require some extra funding support to turn into reality.”
