Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers

Toowoomba

Updated: Aug 05, 2026

Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers returns with 18 days of spectacular blooms, foodie experiences and family-friendly events across the Garden City from September 18-October 5.

Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers is undoubtedly one of Queensland's must-do spring festivals, packed with floral displays, delicious dining and colourful celebrations.

Flowers

The festivities begin with Floral Friday on September 18 before the iconic Grand Central Floral Parade fills the CBD with stunning floral floats, performers and community spirit under this year's Spring Adventures theme. It's one of the Carnival's biggest highlights, drawing thousands to the streets for a vibrant celebration of spring.

Gardens

Food takes centre stage with FEASTival, where celebrity chefs, local producers and Sip & Savour tastings showcase the region's best flavours, while Weekend Table serves up vineyard dinners, heritage rail dining and country long lunches.

Girl with dog

The fun continues with the return of the popular Paw Parade, where dogs and their owners dress up for a morning of furry fun in Queens Park. Whether you're visiting for the flowers, food or festivities, this year's Carnival is the perfect excuse for a spring escape.
