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!
