Cairns African Association

The Cairns African Association (CAA) is a vibrant community organisation dedicated to celebrating, supporting, and empowering people of African heritage in Cairns and the wider Far North Queensland region. Rooted in unity and cultural pride, CAA connects community members through cultural events, festivals, social activities, and support networks that promote wellbeing, inclusion, and shared identity.

The association provides meaningful platforms for youth, elders, newly arrived migrants, and long-term residents to engage with one another, preserve cultural traditions, and build strong community relationships. From cultural celebrations like the Cairns African Festival to leadership and empowerment initiatives, CAA fosters cultural awareness, social cohesion, and opportunities for connection across diverse backgrounds.
