Good Things Did Come Out Of 2020!

The inaugural 2020 Hot & Steamy Festival in Port Douglas well and truly lived up to it’s name, and shone brightly as an excellent example of diversity and inclusion of the LGBTQI+ community in Far North Queensland.


The inaugural event’s headline act was showgirl and cabaret phenomenon Millie Minogue, a clear crowd-pleasing favourite who belted out Kylie tunes alongside her gold-hotpanted dancers. No stranger to Port Douglas, Millie was thrilled – albeit a little warm - to be involved with the event and in a place that she has a personal attachment to, having lived here in the early 1990s.


The inaugural Port Douglas Hot & Steamy Festival drew around 1,000 people across seven events in iconic spots around Port Douglas, giving the area a much needed boost to tourism during the traditionally quiet time of year.


Festival goers who were in Port Douglas for the first time specifically for the event have reported back that they were blown away by the extraordinary beauty of the region and the welcoming, friendly nature of the local community.


With the 2021 Hot & Steamy Festival confirmed, we will be the only LGBTQI+ festival held this Australian summer!


WE CAN'T WAIT TO WELCOME EVERYONE TO PORT DOUGLAS IN FEBRUARY 2021!

The Port Douglas Hot and Steamy Festival is back for its second edition in Tropical North Queensland.

Set amongst World Heritage-listed rainforests, balmy sea breezes and one of the seven natural wonders of the natural world - The Great Barrier Reef – the 2021 Hot and Steamy Festival is fast earning a reputation in the LGBTQI+ community as an event not to be missed.

As the only summer festival of its kind in 2021, organisers say the Port Douglas Hot and Steamy Festival is becoming the LGBTQI+ community’s Mardi Gras warm up getaway event.

The 2021 Port Douglas Hot and Steamy Festival is supported by Tourism and Events Queensland’s Destination Events Program.    

Events like the Hot and Steamy Festival and others make a significant contribution to communities like Port Douglas. 

While you’re here, take time out to explore this amazing region with local businesses such as the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, the Kuranda Scenic Railway, or a day out on the Great Barrier Reef with a tour boat operator.

Supporting local business is your ticket to an unforgettable holiday getaway here in Tropical North Queensland.
