This Festival is a camping event. See detailed camping information HERE.
Festival organisers have made two camping options available adjacent to the Festival Precinct:
*Campgrounds – self-catered; available to those who supply their own swag, tent, caravan, camper, RV etc. Both powered and unpowered sites are available. To help keep like-minded patrons together, campers can elect to stay in either the Family Zone (sites with late night quiet time) or in the Groups Zone (no curfew).
*Rent A Tent – fully serviced pop-up village; available to those who don’t wish to bring their own tent or camping equipment. Sites to accommodate 2, 3, 4 or 6. Comfort extras available for purchase.
*Hotel/motel and caravan accommodation in Mareeba is limited; however, there are fantastic accommodation options right across the Atherton Tablelands, from Airbnbs to resort style lodgings at Lake Tinaroo. There will be a variety of daily express shuttles operating between these locations and the Festival – more details in relation to routes and times will follow.
*If you’re flying into Cairns, Savannah in the Round has partnered with the Accor Hotel Group and is offering Cairns hotel experiences from 4 to 5 stars. Staying in Cairns affords patrons good Festival proximity, as well as prime access to the stunning Great Barrier Reef and a variety of rainforest adventures. A Savannah in the Round express shuttle will operate daily between Cairns and the Festival. (All relevant shuttle information will be made available online closer to the event.)
*For those looking to stay in Port Douglas, the Accor Hotel Group is also offering incredible 4-star Port Douglas properties. A Savannah in the Round express shuttle will operate daily between Port Douglas and the Festival Precinct, an 87-kilometre (70 minute) journey passing through Mount Malloy – one of Far North Queensland’s most scenic drives. (All relevant shuttle information will be made available online closer to the event.)
Once all three rounds of artist announcements have been made, a full program will become available on the event website and within the Festival app.
Additionally, a printed version of program will be made available at the Festival.
