Tjupakai Aboriginal Cultural Park combines education and entertainment with dance theater that gives visitors a look into the history of the Rainforest People and their customs.

If you're looking for more traditional performing arts venues, you can check out places like the Cairns Civic Theater - the main venue for amateur and professional comedy, dance and drama; The Center of Contemporary Arts; and the Tanks Arts Center - which is the home to the Cairns Concert Orchestra. The Cairns Convention Center is where live bands and events come to town, while The Rondo is home to Cairns Little Theater where you can catch a variety of theatrical productions every year.

Pick up a copy of The Fly, published every Thursday and available in hotels, bars, cafes etc., around town. It'll keep you in the know as to what's going on in the city for arts and entertainment. You can also check www.ticketlink.com.au for info on ticket availability and prices.
