A true taste of the Darling Downs
Every Saturday morning, Toowoomba locals and visitors gather under the stately trees of Queens Park for one of the region’s most-loved community events — the Toowoomba Farmers Market. Just minutes from BIG4 Toowoomba Holiday Park, this lively weekly market is the perfect way to spend a relaxed morning sampling local produce, meeting growers, and soaking up the friendly country atmosphere.
Fresh, local and full of flavour
The Toowoomba Farmers Market celebrates everything fresh and regional. Stroll through rows of stalls brimming with seasonal fruit and vegetables, farm-fresh eggs, local honey, gourmet cheeses, and artisan bread still warm from the oven. You’ll also find coffee roasters, butchers, bakers, and handmade treats that showcase the best of the Darling Downs’ thriving food scene.
For families, it’s an easy and enjoyable outing where kids can discover where their food comes from. Couples and grey nomads love the friendly conversations with growers and stallholders, while travellers can stock up on local ingredients for a park BBQ or picnic.
More than just a market
It’s not just about the produce — it’s about the people. The market is known for its welcoming community vibe, with live acoustic music, food trucks serving breakfast favourites, and a relaxed, local crowd. Grab a coffee, chat with the farmers, and take your time exploring everything from homemade jams to fresh flowers and handmade crafts.
Many visitors also tie in a visit to Queens Park Botanic Gardens next door, making it a full morning of fresh air, food, and local colour.
