Creative minds, it’s time to act fast. Cairns Crocodiles, presented by Pinterest, is urging festival-goers to secure their Super Early Bird tickets before 31 December 2025!
Running 12–14 May 2026, the festival brings together leading thinkers, creators and provocateurs to celebrate creativity, culture and the power of ideas under the Queensland sun.
Across three days, attendees can immerse themselves in the Cairns Crocodiles Awards, which highlight excellence across the region, and Cairns Hatchlings, presented by Yahoo, spotlighting emerging talent from across APAC.
The program is further enhanced by the Cairns Masterclass, presented by News Australia, offering deep dives into creativity and culture as an optional add-on experience.
