AFTER 15 years, the Toowoomba Languages and Cultures Festival hasn't waned in terms of popularity.

Queens Park was abuzz with the sights and sounds of other cultures yesterday as the festival unfolded.

After a cold and windy Saturday, the weather rallied for Sunday and put on almost as a good a show as the 1100-odd performers that took to the stage throughout the event.

Event organiser Cassandra Hunter was yet to see final gate numbers for the day, but they were almost certain it was up on last year's record attendance.

"We're thinking 20,000 to 22,000 came through the gate," she said.

"Last year we had 17,000 and it was definitely up on that.

"We've had great feedback and everyone was really happy.

"We've had amazing performances and the weather was great.

"We were a bit worried yesterday.

"It was definitely a very successful event this year.

"It's a successful event every year but this took it up a notch and it was fantastic to see everyone involved."

This year's feature was Scottish culture, and along with the expected Highland dancers and pipe bands, there were also plenty of visitors who got into the swing of things by wearing kilts and tartan in all forms, whether it was scarves or leggings.

Mrs Hunter said there was a strong contingent of Scots in Toowoomba who loved taking any opportunity to show pride in their culture.
