Cairns Regional Council supports return of contemporary First Nations music event
Cairns Regional Council has endorsed $50,000 to help secure the return of a First Nations contemporary music event that is part of the state-wide Queensland Music Trails (QMT) program.
Council approved the funding for Dream Aloud, which as well as bringing headline First Nations acts to Cairns, also serves as a platform for emerging local talent to showcase their stories and voices.
Last year’s inaugural Dream Aloud event, which featured headline artists such as Baker Boy and King Stingray, is part of Tropics Trail – a key component of the QMT program that is supported by the Queensland Government.
Tropics Trail is an initiative that aims to celebrate the region’s people, places and culture through music and to also position Cairns as a premier cultural tourism destination.
The return of Dream Aloud, along with Shine On Gimuy and Savannah in the Round, will complete October’s Tropics Trail program.
