Pinterest's Welcome Party!
The sweet escape is made even sweeter thanks to Pinterest’s welcome party! Taking place at a local cane farm, guests will be wined, dined and delighted by this quintessentially Australian bush bash.
There’ll be live music and entertainment, drinks pouring and conversation flowing in this festive night of fun and frivolity that could only happen in Queensland, and only at Cannes in Cairns.
