Cairns Events Let's Do This

The Mission Beach Community Cassowary Festival on 4th June 2017 will be a celebration of nature with a focus on the cassowary and our community.

It will be held in conjunction with the Rotary Sunday village market and continue throughout the afternoon. Extra market stall space will be available for you to share your goods or activities celebrating nature. A beachside marquee and stage will host guest speakers, live music, performances, competitions, etc. The cassowary/nature theme could spread to the whole town over the whole weekend if you like!

Being held at the beginning of the tourist season, the event is expected to attract a big audience and participation.

It will include celebrities and national media so it will be great for business too. The more that people in the community get involved (individuals and groups, young and old), the more fun the event will be for locals and visitors!

Ideas so far include:
• wildlife road signs made by local kids
• write a cassowary poem or song 
• choreograph a dance or imitate an animal 
• enter a photographic or painting exhibition 
• decorate your shop front or theme your business 
• create land or sand art or sculptures 
• make cassowary food/cakes/chocolate/drinks
• dress in cassowary colours or costume and join a Grand Parade. 

What are your ideas? What nature-themed activity would you like to participate in or lead? Please let us know: cassowaryfestival@gmail.com or phone 0414 402315.
