2010 Port Douglas Carnivale Macrossan Street Parade Float Registration

A true community event in the finest tradition, the Macrossan Street Parade has long been a highlight of the Carnivale festival and regularly draws crowds of thousand swho line the high street to cheer for their friends and colleagues.

Visitors flock to the parade too, as the sense of community spirit and pride is such a tangible part of this Carnivale highlight. It matters not how great or lesser a float: its being there that counts. Some are extravagant, some are simple; all are applauded.

This years Parade theme is “Vintage” – that could mean vintage OZ, vintage canefarm, vintage cars, vintage anything goes! It is NOT compulsary for floats to stick to the theme but it certainly appreciated! Classic rides, vintage dresses, cane growers utensils. It’s your float, show us what you think vintage means to you!

All night long in Port Douglas, fun can be had for everyone at the variety of entertainment zones set up along Macrossan Street featuring live music, stilt walkers and clowns, street performers, bush barn dances and so much more. The kids amusement park set up at the Sugar Wharf end of Macrossan Street offers old world fun fair atmosphere for  the whole family!

The parade kicks off from 7 pm, but float entrants must assemble in Mowbray St, out front of the Neighbourhood Centre between 3 – 6 pm.
