FEASTival at Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers

The Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers is one of Queensland’s most beloved events, both for locals and out-of-towners who make the trek to spend a weekend revelling in sunshine, drinks, food and flowers.

FEASTival – a signature event of the festival calendar – is back again for 2026. The event, best described as the ultimate food lovers’ day out for the whole family, runs for an entire weekend from September 26–27, each day from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm.

Stroll around the tree-lined expanse of Queens Park as you browse the Butler’s Pantry for artisanal treats to take home, snack from the food stalls, and sip on drinks from the bar. 

Your ticket includes entry to the Sip & Savour sessions where hosted wine, beer and distillery sessions teach you about flavour profiles, production techniques and what makes each sip unique. 

Also included with your ticket is access to the Flavour Lab, where some of Australia’s most celebrated chefs take the stage to cook up a storm and share some culinary tips that will take your home kitchen to new heights. Watch Nornie Bero, Simon Toohey and Dominique Rizzo across multiple sessions on both Saturday and Sunday. 

Ticket upgrades are available for hands-on cooking demonstrations and craft workshops or VIP seating, so secure yours now to ensure your FEASTival experience is second to none.
