Paw Parade

Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers

Updated: Aug 05, 2026

Paw Parade returns to Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers for a second year, bringing a tail-wagging celebration of dogs, costumes and community fun to Queens Park on Sunday 4 October 2026.

After an incredible turnout in 2025, the popular event is set to be bigger, fluffier and more entertaining than ever.

Hundreds of dogs are expected to join the parade, with categories celebrating flower-inspired outfits, pet and owner lookalikes, senior dogs and young handlers.

Expect plenty of cute moments, creative costumes and some of the most adorable participants across the entire festival program - it will be sure to be an event to remember.

Visitors can enjoy the free spectacle from the sidelines or register their furry friends to take part in the fun. It is the paw-fect for animal lovers and families alike!
