TOOWOOMBA'S CHRISTMAS WONDERLAND SET TO LIGHT UP THE FESTIVE SEASON
The countdown to Christmas is officially on, with Toowoomba's Christmas Wonderland launching its 2026 celebrations ahead of its much-anticipated return to Queens Park this December.
From 5 to 24 December, the Botanic Gardens will once again be transformed into a spectacular display of Christmas lights, entertainment and festive fun, bringing thousands of visitors together for one of the region's most-loved Christmas traditions.
Following almost 65,000 visitors in 2025, organisers are looking forward to another memorable festive season, with the event continuing to raise much-needed funds for local charities.
Hosted by the Lions Club of Toowoomba West, Christmas Wonderland will once again raise funds for three local charities: Toowoomba Hospital Foundation, Toowoomba Hospice and Lifeline Darling Downs and South West Queensland.
The event is made possible through the generous support of local businesses and organisations, whose contributions help bring Toowoomba's Christmas Wonderland to life each year.
Their support, alongside the dedication of volunteers and community groups, helps ensure Christmas Wonderland remains a much-loved tradition while making a meaningful difference to local charities.
Volunteers remain at the heart of Christmas Wonderland, with approximately 40 people needed each night to help welcome visitors and keep the celebrations running smoothly, with individuals, families and workplace groups encouraged to get involved in this year's event.
