The International Flower & Garden Festival at EPCOT

Spread the love


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

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.
