No matter who you are there for, you will have every chance to catch your favourite artists and discover new ones across the festival’s Big Top Music Hall, Cape Stage and others.
Pitch a Tent or Go Glamping – The Accommodation Lowdown
Now, let’s talk about the important stuff – where you are going to sleep after dancing your heart out. Whether you are a hardcore camper or prefer a bit of luxury, there is something for everyone. The festival offers general camping for folks who like to rough it. But if you are after a bit more comfort, you will want to check out the glamping options. Think fairy lights, cosy beds and waking up to the sounds of nature (minus the mozzies, thanks to mesh screens). Not a fan of the festival grounds? The surrounding Atherton Tablelands is dotted with gorgeous little motels, B&Bs and cottages where you can unwind and recharge before heading back into the fun.
Easy Transfers – No Car, No Problem
Worried about how to get there without a car? No worries! Savannah in the Round has thought of everything. With regular bus transfers running from Cairns and through Mareeba, you can sit back, relax and let someone else do the driving. Plus, you will be saving your energy for the dance floor, not the drive. Transfers drop you right at the festival gates, meaning you will arrive in style and on time for your favourite acts. And let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want to road trip with a bus full of fellow festival-goers?
Why Not Make It a Holiday?
While Savannah in the Round is the main event, why not make a holiday of it? The Atherton Tablelands is a destination in its own right. From waterfalls to heritage railways, and food trails bursting with local flavours, this region offers the perfect post-festival wind-down. Explore charming towns like Yungaburra, snap some pics at Windin Falls (for the ultimate ‘gram shot), or simply sip some local coffee as you relive the best moments from the weekend.
So, there you have it – incredible music, accommodation for every style and easy-peasy transfers. Get your tickets, pack your bags and prepare for a weekend that will leave you singing long after the last encore: https://www.savannahintheround.com.au/.
