Welcome from MP Kate Jones and Qld Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk
JOINT MESSAGE FROM THE PREMIER OF QUEENSLAND AND MINISTER FOR TRADE and THE MINISTER FOR INNOVATION AND TOURISM INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT AND MINISTER FOR CROSS RIVER RAIL
The Queensland Government is proud to support Savannah in the Round - a new country music and camping festival for Mareeba, in the lush Atherton Tablelands.
Across three days, an exceptional lineup of local and international acts will take to the mainstage of the Round Yard Arena, complemented by an exciting cultural program of workshops, showcases and markets.
In Queensland’s Year of Indigenous Tourism, the inaugural festival will also include Indigenous performers, featuring art demonstrations and dreamtime storytelling on the traditional land of the Muluridji people.
Expected to attract more than 8,000 visitors, this new festival is just one of the exciting events to feature on the Tourism and Events Queensland’s It’s Live! in Queensland calendar, worth $880 million to the State’s economy.
In October 2020, we hope you make the trek to discover the sensational sights and sounds of the savannah, while exploring the natural wonders and unique wildlife abundant in Tropical North Queensland.
