Kuranda Amphitheatre

Built in the early 1980s, the Kuranda Amphitheatre was created by passionate locals who dreamed of blending art, music, and nature in one extraordinary place. Designed to integrate with its lush tropical surroundings, the amphitheatre is carved into the landscape, using the rainforest itself as a backdrop.

Over the decades, it has hosted everything from major international acts to grassroots community festivals. Its history reflects Kuranda's reputation as a haven for artists, musicians, and those seeking connection with culture and nature.

There's nothing quite like seeing a live show at the Kuranda Amphitheatre. As the sun sets behind the mountains and the rainforest comes alive with natural sounds, the experience becomes more than just entertainment — it's immersive, magical, and distinctly Far North Queensland.

Even if there's no event on during your visit, the amphitheatre is still worth seeing. Its unique design and peaceful surroundings make it a great stop for photographers, nature lovers, and anyone exploring Kuranda.
