It’s set to be a blooming good time as the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers returns for another year of fabulous floriferous festivities from September 13 to October 7. Tickets are on sale now for four petal-filled weeks of efflorescent events and activities, local food and drink and a whole flotilla of enchanting flora. Read on to hear some of our highlights …

Celebrating its 75th year, the award-winning Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers continues to blossom as a spring-tacular seasonal extravaganza. With live music, local food and wine, activities, activations and acres upon acres of breathtaking botanical beauty this four-weekend festival is set to stun.Kicking things off will be the Festival of Food and Wine –a three-day fiesta from September 13-15 boasting the best in regional produce and live music acts. More than 35 local food and wine offerings will be showcased, including pop-up cellar doors, cocktail bars, beer, wine and cheese tasting with Bunya Cheese. TV’s powerhouse pastry chef Anna Polyviou will be leading Farm to Fork demonstrations in Queens Park, accompanied by a top-notch line of live music from artists like Thirsty Merc, Pete Murray, Kate Ceberano and James Reyne.There’s also the #trEATS region-wide food trail which offers signature springtime-inspired dishes for delightfully affordable prices. There’s a huge range of foodie tours for nomadic gourmands including the Dinner Edit and Talking Pubs walking tours for those who prefer a pint with their promenade.Of course, first and foremost Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers is a time for appreciating flower power, so be sure to check more than 40-million petals on display across the city’s famous parks and public spaces like Queens Park, and Laurel Bank. Explore the secret lives of trees and check out the park after dark with the twilight tours of Laurel Bank Park. Prepare yourself for this year’s Grand Central Floral Parade on Saturday September 21, where street performers, carnival characters and roving entertainment will escort the stunning floral floats with maximum jubilation benefitting this year’s theme – It’s A Party!

Within the carnival program there are a number of returning perennial favourites and new blooms, like Symphony Under the Stars where the full Queensland Symphony Orchestra, performing under the baton of Chief Conductor Umberto Clerici, will serenade you under starry skies in the iconic Queens Park Amphitheatre. Discover a garden of delights with more than 50 uniquely crafted floral hanging baskets at the Hanging Baskets at Cobb+Co Museum (September 6 to October 7) or head down to Sideshow Alley in Queens Park for a kaleidoscopic affair of thrill-seeking rides, fairy floss, dagwood dogs, show bags and more.
