Toowoomba's Christmas Wonderland

12/02/2026

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of gathering with our friends at the Lions Club of Toowoomba West Inc and the many organisations and community groups who helped make Toowoomba’s Christmas Wonderland such a success.

Together, an incredible $98,000 was raised for our major beneficiaries — Toowoomba Hospital Foundation, Toowoomba Hospice and Lifeline Darling Downs & South West QLD Ltd — alongside community groups including Darling Downs Girl Guides, Toowoomba Historical Society Inc and SES Toowoomba.

Last year’s event welcomed:
🎅64,000+ visitors
🎄833 volunteers contributing 9,728 hours
🌟36 entertainment acts

A special thank you to the dedicated Lions Club of Toowoomba West Inc members and volunteers who give year after year to bring the joy of Christmas to our region.

This event didn’t just spread festive cheer — it made a difference in our community. We can’t wait to do it all again this year.

In the spirit of Christmas and thanks to all our sponsors, we have been fortunate enough to keep Toowoomba’s Christmas Wonderland a FREE community event. 🎅

🎉 We would love to keep the spirit going this Christmas by giving back to the community.

So we do kindly ask for a gold coin donation or 'tap and go' donation on entry. All donations go straight back to local charities. ❤️

🙂 If you’re a little short on change this Christmas, there’s no obligation to drop a coin in our buckets - all we ask is that you enjoy our light displays and give our incredible volunteers a cheery ‘Merry Christmas’ when you see them!

We can't wait to celebrate the festive season with you all! 🎄
