Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers

Australia's longest-running floral festival paints the city in bloom.

Running since 1949, the Carnival of Flowers is Toowoomba's crown jewel, drawing around half a million visitors as the city bursts into spring colour. Across several September weekends, more than 80 events unfold, headlined by the Grand Central Floral Parade of flower-covered floats winding into Queens Park.

Expect show-stopping display gardens, food festivals, music and open private gardens. The whole city dresses up for the occasion.
