The Toowoomba Chamber through its CBD Revitalisation Advisory Committee (CBD-RAC) is delighted to announce the winners of the ‘Carnival in the CBD’, following a successful response and some outstanding entries.
CBD tenants and landlords were encouraged to get into the spirit of Carnival, by dressing their shop fronts in a way that celebrate this great Toowoomba tradition and bring back some of the atmosphere that has been absent from the CBD in recent years.
Toowoomba Chamber Executive Officer, Lucas Wegener, said, “This year we had a total of 39 businesses enter with amazing displays from chalk flowers, paintings, big bunches of flowers, bikes, a nod to Queen Elizabeth II and even interactive displays, which made the task of choosing the winner a difficult one.
“We would like to thank all participating businesses and thank you for contributing to Carnival in the CBD.
“In the end, the judges had a very difficult decision, but after much consideration, it was determined that, Quest Toowoomba was the 2022 winner, with their wonderful tribute to the Carnival of Flowers.
“A runner-up prize when to the outstanding display House Estate Agents.
“The judges want to provide a special mention to fantastic displays by Ray White Commercial, Joels Salon de Men, Good Start Learning Centre, and ADRA Op Shop.
