Australia's most beautiful celebration in the 2022 Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers continues this weekend with the GRAND CENTRAL FLORAL PARADE set to stop the city tomorrow!
The Grand Central Floral Parade which sees thousands of families lining the streets, will take place TOMORROW, Saturday 17 September, again at the earlier time of 10am, while Sideshow Alley takes over Queens Park from 16 to 18 September.
In the Botanic Gardens at Queens Park, the ever popular Ferris Wheel program has been extended to run from TODAY to 25 September from 9am to 8pm, coinciding with the stunning Night Garden experience which will shine all month.
This year's regional food trail #trEATS (Toowoomba Region EATS) features a record number of floral-inspired dishes from cafes, restaurants and bars all priced between $10 and $20. From a dessert representation of Toowoomba' famous Table Top Mountain by Muller Bros, to a reimagined Tiramisu featuring Persian rose fairy floss and a flower petal lollipop from Cobb & Co, to a Carnival Cocktail Salad from Kajoku, and Coconut Cherry Bloom Gelato complete with edible flowers from Gelatissimo Toowoomba, there's 43 #trEATS to choose from!
Famed local brewer 4 Brothers Brewing has created a signature floral beer, available at the brewery all month. The beer – Carnivale – is an Ale featuring Calendula flowers.
Petals and Pups 2022 – the official dog-friendly schedule, completely dedicated to hounds and their humans and in salute to Toowoomba's first canine Ambassa-dog, 'Puppy' the Pomeranian – features more than 20 dog-friendly activities and 27 off-leash parks.
Next weekend is a new event - the Teddy Bear's Picnic at Picnic Point on 24 September. Featuring shows, fairy bread making, face painting, food stalls and of course a Teddy Bear Parade, this is one for all ages! The famed TAMBO TEDDIES have created a tribute bear for the gardeners of Toowoomba – his name is Dug (of course!), and he will go home with one very lucky picnicker at the end of the Teddy Bears' Picnic.
