Laidley Spring Festival
12-14 SEPTEMBER 2025
Three days of Retro Revival!
Mark your calendars for the crown jewel of springtime festivities—the Laidley Spring Festival. With 62 years of tradition, this fabulous event is a highlight on Queensland's social calendar.
3 Days of Festival Fun
The Producer's Patch
We’re thrilled to unveil The Producer’s Patch – a brand-new flavour-packed feature blooming right in the heart of the main festival precinct at Laidley Recreational Reserve and to stir things up even more, we’re thrilled to welcome beloved celebrity chef Matt Golinski to the patch on Saturday 13
FRIDAY’S TWILIGHT FEAST AND FEST
Laidley Rec Reserve springs to life with twinkling lights, epic food trucks and a boutique “makers and creators” market, along with SEQ musos bringing the tunes. Grab a picnic blanket and enjoy an evening of food, music, and great company from 5pm-9pm!
SATURDAY AT THE FESTIVAL PRECINCT
Rise and shine folks and make your way to Lockyer Valley’s largest annual country market! Starting at 8am, wander through the food trucks with a coffee, and peruse stalls offering handmade products from right here in Queensland. Stay for the stage program (from 11am)
FEATURED EXHIBITIONS
There’s something for everyone as our community groups create unique, Spring-inspired expos for your enjoyment. Park your car and wander between locations dotted around Laidley or jump on our shuttle buses that loop the town, stopping at festival locations.
GARDEN PRECINCT
Thousands peruse the Garden Precinct each year, on the hunt for potted colour and the perfect ornaments to adorn their yards. Stay for the guest speakers and demonstrations and check out the Gem Show whilst you’re there!
ANNUAL GRAND STREET PARADE
Saturday 13 September at 10am sees the Laidley CBD get hectic with thousands of festival goers watching the Street Parade. Decorative floats, heritage trucks, vintage vehicles, dressed up community groups and marching bands will wander down the main street, sharing their best interpretation of this year’s festival theme, “Retro Revival”!
SUNDAY IS BEE HAPPY DAY!
Festival Sunday is for the kids! Bring the family for a program filled with arts and craft workshops, live theatrical performances, face painting, dancing, live music from Bec Bridge, scrumptious food, and a local artisan market. Located at the Forest Hill School of Arts Hall from 8.30am-12pm, there will be things to do for all kids 6-months and up!
