Farewell 2015 At Free Family Festivities In Queens Park, Toowoomba

Join the frivolity at a free family program to farewell 2015 near Frog’s Hollow in lower Queens Park, off Margaret Street, Toowoomba on New Year’s Eve. Toowoomba Regional Council Tourism and Events portfolio leader Cr Geoff McDonald said the early evening program offered fun entertainment for families and all ages.

“Council will keep the festive spirit rolling through the holiday period with a range of activities from 5-8pm in Queens Park,” Cr McDonald said.  “The early evening timeslot is designed for families to enjoy a relaxing program.

Free rides, sponsored by Suncorp Bank, and activities will be staged for children with other family games suited to any age.  Prizes will be awarded during the contests with entertainment, food and drinks available to buy.

“Gary the Great will perform two clown shows along with a circus aerial performance, wire walking, juggling, balancing, whip cracking and a comedy routine from 5.30pm, ” he said. “Toowoomba City Cheerleaders will rev up the crowd and be involved in a limbo parade with other games on offer plus a DJ.  A belly dancing display will precede a Guinness Book of Records world record attempt for the longest conga line.”

“The function has grown in recent years and ends with a dazzling fireworks display sponsored by Orchy Toowoomba from 7.45pm.

See 2015 out in style with friends and family at an alcohol-free event. The timing lets families enjoy the entertainment program and offers adults the chance to attend functions for the countdown to 2016  following the community celebrations in.
