Thursday 18 February - 22 February

Berlin boy-wonder Hans, has descended on Port Douglas for the Hot and Steamy Festival! On Friday take in the Taste in the Tropics long lunch, followed by the White Party at the Sugar Wharf. On Saturday, tropical vintage swimsuits will be on show, followed by a sunset booze cruise and the Main Festival Party. It'll all wrap up with a pool party, closing party at Turtle Cove and – if you've still got the stamina – recovery drinks at Hemingway's.

Friday 19 February

You've probably seen the outside, which is looking rather fab – but now you can finally check out the inside of the newly-refurbished Court House at the venue's open day. Doors open to this free event from 4pm and you can check out exhibitions Lore to Law by UMI Arts, From the Ground Up by Yarrabah Arts Centre and Justicia by Bonemap. On the lawn outside, relax on a picnic blanket to the tunes of Mau Power, Bobby Alu, Nikki Doll and the Mambo Swing and Tessa Devine. All while you're sampling gin cocktails from Wolf Lane Distillery, Salty Captains Prawns, The Donut Shack sweets, Richards Salt and Pepper takeaway and Espresso Cairns Mobile Cafe.
