Something big is coming! The Discovery Festival is just the beginning.
In 2020, we will be celebrating 250 years since Cook arrived in Cooktown. You are invited to join us to hear the stories behind the stories, experience the reconciliation and uncover the scientific discoveries in a 48 day festival that will once again put Cooktown on the map.
