Festival of Food & Wine

The 75th Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers is back for 4 blooming weeks, opening with the 3-day Festival of Food and Wine held in the beautiful leafy surrounds of upper Queens Park, from Friday, September 13 to Sunday, September 15, 2024.

This huge celebration for all things food and wine will feature a stellar line-up of live music including Thirsty Merc, James Reyne, Kate Ceberano, Pete Murray, and more.

New this year, the Festival will kick off on Friday night with DJs bringing the beats and good vibes to upper Queens Park. Featuring Yuggera-artist dameela and chart topping Mashd N Kutcher, these live DJ sets are going to be spectacular in the parkland setting.

Pete Murray, one of Australia's most loved and respected singer-songwriters, will close the Festival on Sunday night. Known for his hit songs “Better Days”, “Feeler”, “So Beautiful” and “Opportunity”, his music continues to serve as the soundtrack for so many of his fans.

But that's not all! Celebrity chef and punk-pastry powerhouse Anna Polyviou will join the music makers at the Festival of Food & Wine. With her distinctive hot pink mohawk, quirky urban street style, and vibrant personality, Anna will lead Farm to Fork demonstrations. Fans will be able to watch the pastry queen as she prepares a Basque Cheesecake, Cheese & Charcuterie Baguette, and some mouth-watering Cookie Dough Pies.
