PERFECT weather added to the carnival atmosphere this afternoon as more than 80 floats made their way through the Toowoomba CBD for the Grand Central Floral Parade.
There were golden dragons, marching bands from across the state and plenty of colour, as groups from across the city combined for the multi-cultural display.
Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk also took part in the parade, helping Toowoomba Mayor Paul Antonio cut the ribbon to signal its start.
Thousands of residents, some with deck chairs in tow, lined the streets, eager to be a part of the action.
"It's looking great today, we're expecting something really special today," Cr Antonio said, prior to the parade's start.
"I'm confident we will hit record numbers."
Ms Palaszczuk said the 70th Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers was an incredible milestone.
"This is undoubtedly Australia's greatest celebrations of horticulture, food, wine, music and local produce," she said.
"This year more than 180,000 seeds, bulbs and seedlings have been planted for this iconic Spring event which not only brings so much joy to generations of families but adds economic certainty to this farming region.
"The city and region should be extremely proud of this wonderful event."
