Swish! is set to ignite Bank Lane with colour, music, and life as it transforms into a buzzing open-air gallery and laneway party to launch Cairns Festival.In the weeks leading up to the celebration, local and interstate artists will paint stunning large-scale murals throughout the lane — bold, beautiful works that will remain long after the music fades, a lasting legacy for the city’s creative heart.
Then, for two unmissable nights, Swish! turns up the volume with live international, interstate & local DJs and musicians curated by the team from Brother Jenkins. Add pop-up bars and bites from local favourites MexiCairns, Three Wolves, and Coral Sea Brewing Co and you have the foundation for 2 unforgettable nights!
What's even better? It's FREE!
