Spring is set to burst into colour as the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers returns from September 12 to October 6, delivering four weekends of blooms, bites and brand-new events across Queensland’s Garden City. Toowoomba’s iconic green spaces – Queens Park Botanic Gardens and Laurel Bank Park – will once again be a visual feast, joined by private gardens open to the public.

The festival kicks off with Floral Friday on September 12, a city-wide celebration that sees locals and visitors dress in florals as shopfronts and public spaces burst to life. That evening, Queens Park hosts the festival’s first-ever Lawn Party, an exclusive twilight garden soiree with cocktails, gourmet bites and dancing under the stars. Twilight Tours offer an enchanting after-dark experience through Laurel Bank Park, revealing its hidden corners and night-blooming wonders in a one-hour guided adventure.

From September 19–21, the iconic Grand Central Floral Parade returns, alongside the debut of the Paw Parade, where four-legged friends take centre stage. Food lovers can explore the city with Tasting Tours, a series of curated food and drink experiences including Cork & Walk, Sip & Stroll and Pint Pursuit.

The third weekend (September 26–28) brings the launch of FEASTival, a new food-focused event featuring cooking demos by Miguel Maestre, sweet and savoury eats, local drinks and the #TrEATS foodie trail, all set among the splendour of Queens Park.

The festival wraps with Weekend Table, a series of long-table dining events, plus Cake Date and family-friendly fun on the Ferris Wheel and vintage carousel.
