A city in bloom, a celebration for all
Every spring, Toowoomba transforms into a sea of colour for the Toowoomba Carnival of Flower - a multi-award-winning festival that celebrates nature, creativity, and community spirit. From breathtaking floral displays to live music, local food, and family fun, it’s one of Queensland’s most-loved events and a must-see for visitors of all ages.
A floral feast for the senses
Running throughout September, the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers fills the city’s parks and streets with vibrant blooms and festive energy. Explore meticulously curated gardens at Queens Park, Laurel Bank Park, and the Botanic Gardens - each bursting with tulips, petunias, and roses in every shade imaginable.
Take a leisurely stroll through the Grand Central Floral Parade, where dazzling floats, stilt walkers, and street performers bring the streets to life. The city buzzes with excitement, making it the perfect time to experience Toowoomba at its most joyful.
Food, music, and family fun
Beyond the blooms, the Carnival offers something for everyone. Foodies can indulge at the “Tastes of the Region” events, where local produce and craft beverages take centre stage. Families will love the live entertainment, children’s activities, and evening light displays, while music lovers can enjoy performances from Australian artists in relaxed outdoor settings.
If you’re after a slower pace, simply wander through the pop-up markets, meet local growers, or relax in a shady park with a coffee in hand - it’s your day to celebrate Toowoomba’s charm, your way.
