Council's Mayor Tanya Milligan said the festival would bring an added element of excitement to the region.
The Laidley Spring Festival continues to grow in popularity each year and I'm confident this year will be no exception, Cr Milligan said.
Das Neumann Haus featuring Annie's Place Coffee Shoppe will offer a special pancake menu, markets and music during the festival.
Come along and enjoy this fabulous community event, Cr Milligan said.
If you're unsure of what's on offer to see and do, chat with friendly volunteers at one of the Information Hot Spots, located in front of the Post Office, Patrick Street or near the stage at the Laidley Recreation Reserve on Saturday from 9am - 2pm.
A visit to some of the award-winning gardens on display is also a must, and I would encourage anyone interested to enjoy a public bus tour of the winning garden on Friday 8 September, Cr Milligan said.
