The iconic Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers will have a month-long celebration of food, music and of course, flowers!
The event is headlined by over 190,000 spectacular blooms, blooming under the hands of an army of Council gardeners. The best viewing spots are Laurel Bank Park, Queens Park and Botanic Gardens, Spring Bluff Station Gardens and the wonderful public spaces and parks throughout the city.
The Grand Central Floral Parade – the event that stops the city, with thousands of families lining the streets to watch – will be held on Saturday 17 September at 10am. At Queens Park Botanic Gardens, the ever-popular Ferris Wheel program has been extended to run from 16 to 25 September from 9am to 8pm, coinciding with the stunning Garden of Night experience that will shine through the whole month.
If wandering through beautiful gardens isn’t for you, there’s still something to enjoy in this September’s range.
The famous three-day Food and Wine Festival will be held from September 9 to 11, showcasing the best in regional produce and Australian music in Queens Park.
Much-loved MasterChef Australia winner, author and champion Julie Goodwin will be a special guest at this year’s Food and Wine Festival.

The Petals and Pups program at the Toowoomba Flower Carnival means dogs can enjoy the flowers as much as their owners.
Petal and Pups is a salute to Toowoomba’s first Ambassa puppy, ‘Puppy’ the Pomeranian. Petal and Pups features more than 20 dog-friendly activities and 27 off-leash parks.
New to the 2022 Carnival of Flowers is the Teddy Bear Picnic at the Picnic Point. The Teddy Bear Picnic will feature performances, fairy bread making, face painting, food stalls and a teddy bear parade.
