BIG Crowds are expected to converge on the Toowoomba Showgrounds for the Spring Home Show and Camping and Leisure Expo.
More than 12,000 are expected to pass through the gates when the three-day event opens today.
Showcasing everything from household and lifestyle ideas to caravan, camping and leisure, the expo is sure to have something for everyone.
Australian Events spokesman Greg Johnson said the home show was always a popular event with some new additions for its 21st year.
"We are excited to be bringing this show to our home town having delivered similar shows across Queensland throughout 2014," he said.
"There will be big displays, food and beverage outlets, giveaways, competitions and plenty for patrons to interact with.
"This year we will also have 21 demonstrations on stage over the three days profiling everything from pain relief to gym sessions, brick laying to solar power and olives to wine."
Mr Johnson said events like the home show took plenty of hard work behind the scenes.
"It has been an enormous project getting everything together but we look forward to seeing the crowds come through the door," he said
"These things take a full 12 months to plan as well as more than three months to deliver.
"Toowoomba has traditionally been one of the bigger shows of the year and we are expecting that trend to continue in 2014."
While there will be exhibitors from Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and even New Zealand, Mr Johnson singled out the efforts of Darling Downs companies.
"It's great to see so many local companies involved in the show.
"It really pushes the 'shop local buy local' message which Toowoomba residents support so well.
"There will be 150 exhibitors from as far away as New Zealand showing the latest in caravans, camper trailers, camping equipment, pools, household items, lifestyle products, as well as 100 other gadgets and gizmos."
Prizes galore are on offer for everyone who attends with an outdoor landscape design package and outdoor water feature worth $5,700 up for grabs.
