Lockyer Valley comes alive with Spring energy, produce and colour for the Laidley Spring Festival, an annual spring-inspired celebration that embodies Council and community collaboration. The event started as the ‘Chelsea Flower Show’, a Red Cross event to coincide with Spring, the season that aligns with blooming gardens and local produce harvest. Last year they celebrated 60 years of the festival which has been an integral part of life in this beautiful country town. The festival program covers three days filled with events including a Street Parade, Twilight Feast & Fest, Spring Garden Fair, Spring Orchid Show, Quilt and Craft Expo, Spring Gem Show, Under 5’s Day and Art Exhibition. This family-friendly event is conveniently located less than one hour’s drive west of Brisbane and just 30 minutes’ drive east of Toowoomba.
