Saturday evening's Cairns Festival opening parade was a blast.Whilst I was bunkered down in a political shitstorm, the first hour or so at the Labor camp, then at the LNP party, I missed the best part of the parade, and the fireworks. However, politics in the back streets didn't rate a mention along the Esplanade on Saturday night.
"The creativity and fun rolled through the streets of Cairns," Festival producer Eric Holowacz said. "The Festival judges had a hard time picking winners, but now they can be revealed."
