Kerribee Park (Mareeba Rodeo Grounds) is the proud home of Savannah in the Round. It’s located just 7 kilometres from the centre of Mareeba in the Cairns Hinterland on State Route 27 - the main north/west road to the Gulf Country, and the start of the world famous 3,700-kilometre road trip across the top of Australia from Cairns to Broome, Savannah Way. The event takes place 66 kilometres from Cairns airport, or about an hour’s drive past the Kuranda range.

Savannah in the Round is unlike any other festival. Main Stage is inside the rodeo arena, with a floored mosh pit, camp chair area and brand new tiered outdoor arena seating. Your festival armband allows you to choose your area or move between all three to best take in the Main Stage performances (taking place between 4pm and 12am on Friday, Saturday and Sunday).

Savannah in the Round will also program two support stages; the Bull Bar and Bronc Bar – both of which will operate across the day, and after Main Stage until 2am.

Savannah in the Round offers campgrounds adjacent to the festival site, 24/7 security, medical support, a general store, and toilet/shower facilities. Additionally, your camping armband gives you access to a free shuttle bus service between Kerribee Park (the festival site) and the Mareeba town centre from Thursday to Sunday (inclusive).
