Foodie Queen, Justine Schofield will give Farm to Fork demonstrations, leading the flavour charge of over 20 local food offerings, 15 pop-up local Cellar Doors, feature floral designs, flower crown making, cocktail bars and floral beer options!

Queens Park will also be home to The Tasting Room and see bars serving sips from 4Brothers Brewery, Pechey Distilling Co and Burleigh Brewing, as well as the BBQ Pityard from Paddock Butchery, the sell-out Botanical Society area, and more than 35 food and wine stalls.

According to the Chair of the Toowoomba Regional Council Environment and Community Services Committee Cr James O’Shea "Our festival keeps getting better and better, and this year we again welcome some of Australia’s best music makers - musicians who have created this country’s biggest anthems, like the Hoodoo Gurus and Jon Stevens, and emerging stars like Budjerah, who opened for Ed Sheeran. Combine this music mix with a wonderful three days of incredible flavours, produce and wine, fresh from the bountiful pastures, orchards and vineyards of the Toowoomba Region and the result is an experience for the ages,”
