A feast for all, bring on Autumn 24! And another signature Festival for the Toowoomba Region; that is what the Toowoomba Chamber of Commerce and their Food & Agri Network Advisory Committee have firmly in their sights this week as they submit their request to the Toowoomba Regional Council to support Autumn Feast 2024.
Toowoomba Chamber, Chief Executive Officer, Todd Rohl said, “This is long overdue, we love Carnival of Flowers but feel strongly that Toowoomba has room for another festival, and it’s definitely time we celebrated more than just one season in our beautiful region’.
The concept of the Autumn Feast encompasses three elements – Food, Art, and Music all under one brand. The proposal is not just for the city of Toowoomba but is to include the surrounding towns and hamlets of the region. From Yarraman to Crows Nest to Pittsworth to Millmerran to Oakey and everywhere in between, the Autumn Feast will be for every regional community to enjoy and participate in. Organisers are planning a nin-day festival in April 2024 that will see the region bathed in Autumn colours with vibrant art installations all across Toowoomba City and surrounding townships.
Kristen O’Brien from Dine Darling Downs said, “Toowoomba is definitely one of the premiere foodie destinations in Queensland. “But it’s not all about the food, the Autumn Feast festival aims to support our thriving music and arts community too.” Todd expressed, “If we can get the support we need, this event will bring a surge of visitors to our region in April next year. It will be fantastic for our economy, not to mention our community spirit.”
