CAIRNS FESTIVAL 2025 || SWISH! Mural Art & Pop-up Laneway Party

Swish! is set to transform Bank Lane in Cairns’ CBD into a vibrant open-air gallery and joyous dance floor for a two-evening celebration launching the Cairns Festival!

Featuring murals by interstate and local artists, the project culminates in a two-night program of top-tier DJs and live music, curated by Brother Jenkins.

With laneway pop-up bars and bites from MexiCairns, Three Wolves, and Coral Sea Brewing Co, Swish! blends art, music, and hospitality to bring the laneway to life.

This celebration will shine a spotlight on Cairns as a thriving hub for art, culture, and hospitality. What's even better? It's FREE!
