Savannah in the Round's main festival program begins in Mareeba today, bringing a weekend of music and camping to the Cairns Hinterland.
Festival organisers say a pre-festival concert for campers was scheduled for Thursday evening, 8 October. The main program starts Friday, 9 October, and continues through Sunday, 11 October at the Mareeba Rodeo Arena.
The official festival website lists ICEHOUSE, Missy Higgins, Don McLean, Tyler Braden and other artists among this year's lineup. The event also advertises camping and bull riding; individual performances and schedules should be checked directly with organisers because lineups may change.
People travelling from Cairns can find directions, shuttle information and ticket options on the festival's current information page. The organisers advise allowing extra road travel time due to Kuranda Range road upgrades.
