John MacKenzie chats with Cr. Kristy Vallely, Cairns Regional Council Division 6 Representative, about the upcoming Cairns Festival, formerly known as "Fun in the Sun". Kristy also touched on the removal of a beloved fig tree in Freshwater.

A debate has been raging about the name of Cairns Festival being altered to include the original wording "fun in the sun". The festival dates back to 1962, and the name has changed over the years. 

On another note, residents of Freshwater are awaiting the council to remove a much-loved fig tree at Richmond Park.
