Envirofiesta is a free entry, one-day environmental festival which has been staged annually
over the past 14 years by Cairns and Far North Environment Centre (CAFNEC).  
This unique festival incorporates a diverse program of  environmental and cultural
activities for the broader community of Far North Queensland.  
The event's innovative program provides education and information on conservation
issues in a fun, festive and non-threatening atmosphere for the community.
Envirofiesta aspires to inspire high standards of conservational values,
for the future of our fragile region.

This is created by the contributions of environmentally motivated performances, music, workshops and stalls. The festival's programme has expanded considerably since its
conception, with a  dedicated team of innovative volunteers to ensure a program that
adequately reflects the aim of the event.

Envirofiesta is created by extensive volunteer efforts. This includes
networking within our community, involving: schools; indigenous organisations
government and non government conservation groups;  disadvantaged groups; arts groups; media and local businesses. These valuable contributions are crucial to ensure the success of Envirofiesta. Attention to detail is taken to carefully monitor the production,
to ensure that recycled materials are used for all  installation, design and infrastructure requirements. Great emphasis is placed upon the recognition and celebration of local indigenous cultures, through song, dance, talks, art, and craft.

Our most recent team successes include two treeplanting festivals, both planting over
2500 trees, one on the Marchoochy River, Coolum and the other on the Mary River,
Maleny (Sunshine Coast). Both of these events attracted local council, government departments, local business support and the broader community participation.

Envirofiesta encourages the broader community to place emphasis upon positive environmental and social change through participation.
