EPCOT 2025 International Flower and Garden Festival

The arrival of spring transforms Central Florida into a tapestry of vibrant colors, fresh aromas, and pleasantly mild weather, making it the ideal time to experience the magic of Orlando's Walt Disney World Resort! Each spring, EPCOT invites guests to its International Flower and Garden Festival. This year's festival will run from March 5th to June 2nd. Guests at the festival will witness the breathtaking beauty of nature harmoniously blended with the magic of Disney! 

Every corner of EPCOT is transformed into a whimsical garden through the collaborative efforts of Disney's horticulture department and Walt Disney's Imagineering team. EPCOT's International Flower and Garden Festival features breathtaking topiary displays that celebrate Disney stories, natural wonders, and diverse cultures from around the world. This year, guests will be greeted at the park entrance by life-size topiaries of Moana, Maui, Heihei, and Pua from Disney's new Moana 2 film. While Mirabel, Antonio, Isabela, and Luisa from the hit film Encanto will welcome guests to the World Showcase near Port of Entry. 

The International Flower and Garden Festival perfectly blends art, technology, and natural displays. From the Butterfly Garden, where colorful fluttering friends welcome visitors, to the new Haute Nature in the France Pavillion, where fashion meets flora, the experience is educational and visually stunning, perfect for gardening enthusiasts and families alike. One of the most anticipated displays is this year's new Inside Out 2 Emotion Garden, which encourages guests to explore the emotions whimsically represented in lush plant displays located between Imagination! and World Showcase.

Culinary delights are a staple of EPCOT's International Flower and Garden Festival. Outdoor kitchens offer seasonal dishes inspired by the garden, featuring flavors that highlight the essence of spring. This year's festival will also focus on local and sustainable ingredients. Located near CommuniCore Hall and Plaza, Florida Fresh will offer guests a taste of iconic Florida cuisine, including conch fritters and strawberry shortcakes.

This year's Garden Graze is an excellent option for those who want a “guided” tour of the festival's culinary offerings. The Festival Passport serves as a guide to find and purchase five items from the Garden Graze menu, allowing guests to collect a stamp for each purchase. Once guests have collected all their stamps, they can take their stamped Festival Passport to Pineapple Promenade near the Port of Entry for a complimentary festival treat.

Those looking to groove to the beat of their favorite songs will not want to miss the Garden Rocks Concert Series! The concerts are held daily at the America Gardens Theatre and feature globally renowned artists on weekends and talented local acts on weekdays. Some of this year's most anticipated featured artists include Simple Plan, 98 Degrees, The Pointer Sisters, and the Plain White T's!
