This years Tropfest was cancelled due to mishandling of funds, but is now set to go ahead in February.
Festival founder John Polson said on Sunday that Tropfest would go ahead on Valentine’s Day 2016 due to support from CGU Insurance.

The event had been scheduled for December 6 but was shelved because of what Polson called “terrible and irresponsible mismanagement” of funds.
Tropfest has been running annually for 23 years, starting out in Sydney’s Tropicana cafe. There were doubts whether it would be able to run again.
“I honestly thought it was never going to come back. I was not sure how we would ever rebound from this disaster,” said founder John Polson said.
