Reflecting on a beautiful night with Queensland Symphony Orchestra, playing underneath the full moon.

A special event, on the first night of Cairns Festival - celebrating the debut of local composer Jon Platz 'Prelude for a Painted Sky,' underneath the stars he was inspired by.

From the clarinet concerto, to young musicians showcasing their talents and fabulous energy brought by conducter Nil Venditti. It was a night to remember!

Keep an eye on the Parklands for our next outdoor concert, and thankyou for joining us on the grass ๐Ÿ’š

๐ŸŽ‰ A century of stories, a decade of new memories

For more than 100 years, this much-loved Cairns site has been a place where people gather, connect and create memories. From its beginnings as a recreation reserve in the 1880s, through its time as Norman Park and its role during World War II, to the vibrant outdoor arts venue it is today, the park has been woven into the story of our city.

As we celebrate 10 years since the reopening of Munro Martin Parklands, we've loved looking back through the photos and stories you've shared. Thank you to everyone who posted their special memories of concerts, performances, festivals, community events and moments spent in this much-loved place.

๐Ÿ“ธ Swipe through to see flashbacks inspired by the wonderful memories shared by our community, alongside a look at the transformation that helped shape the parklands we enjoy today.

๐Ÿ† Competition winners will be contacted via private message. The competition is now closed but don't be shy! Keep sharing!

Here's to the next chapter of memories at Munro Martin Parklands, see you all there ๐Ÿ’š
