Toowoomba quite simply turns it on in September every year for the Carnival of Flowers and this year is no exception.
This popular festival went from a 10 day event, to a month-long celebration a few years back and we are so glad it did – there is just so much to see and do, trust us, you need a month to cover it all!
Here are our top five “must do” Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers activities but please be aware they are only a small sample of what’s on offer during this multi-award winning family friendly event that runs from September 1st to 30th.
