The International Flower & Garden Festival at EPCOT

The International Flower & Garden Festival is a treat for your eyes. This event is held every year in the early spring. We love to tour the festival to look at the amazing flower colors and imaginative topiary displays. But there is so much more! Experience rock concerts, beautiful gardens, and a large variety of outdoor kitchens to sample food from around the world.

The International Flower & Garden Festival will run from March 2 – July 4, 2022

Garden Exhibits

EPCOT transforms into a large garden for the festival. There are about 70,000 bedding plants arranged like giant paintings. In the photo above, taken at the 2018 festival you can see a flower, butterfly, and the sun. Crews go in every night to replace dead or faded flowers so that it always looks fresh and beautiful every day.

Topiary Displays

Located throughout the park are exquisite topiary displays of all your favorite Disney characters. Most of these cultivated displays are in the World Showcase but you can still find a few in Future World.

Many of the songs they play are recognized by almost all age groups. It is not uncommon to have everyone singing along. Be sure to look into the Garden Rock Dining Package. Dine at one of the close restaurants that then guarantee you a seat in the pavilion during the concerts.
