Grand Central Floral Parade

The iconic Grand Central Floral Parade is one of Toowoomba’s most anticipated events each year! Come along to watch street performers, carnival characters, and roving entertainment escort stunning floral floats on their journey through the heart of the city to Queens Park.

Starting at 10am, the parade departs from the corner of Herries & Hume Street, winding its way along Herries Street, before turning right into Ruthven Street, right into Margaret Street, left onto Hume Street, and finishing on Godsall Street Oval. You could say it’s a real moving experience!

Note that there will be road closures throughout the Toowoomba CBD on Sat 19 Sept. Check out the map (available soon!) and plan your trip in advance. A full listing of all road closures can be found on the Toowoomba Regional Council website closer to the event.

We welcome thousands of visitors to our Grand Central Floral Parade, so allow extra travel time to get to your destination on this day.

The parade is free to watch – just pick a spot along the route and wait for the celebrations to begin! Remember to bring a hat, water bottle (it can get warm in the sun), and a fold up chair if you’ll need a seat.

Can’t make it in person? The 2026 Grand Central Floral Parade will be livestreamed from our Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers Facebook page – your front-row seat from anywhere in the world!
