The Event

Cooktown 2020 is a visionary 3 week festival celebrating the arrival of James Cook 250 years ago, the scientific discoveries that were recorded during his 48 days on shore and the interactions and reconciliation that took place between the crew and the Guugu Yimithirr people.

Cook Shire Council acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which the Cooktown 2020 commemorations will be held.

Please note: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that this website may contain images and voices of people who have died.
