No matter what the weather is like where you live, Spring will definitely be in the air at Walt Disney World when this year’s EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival begins on March 1. Blooming once again through July 5, this stunning festival will feature alluring gardens, whimsical topiaries, lively entertainment, beautiful merchandise and delightfully fresh cuisine.
There will be some new things this year too! For the first time, topiaries of Mirabel, Antonio, Isabela and Luisa from Disney’s “Encanto” will make a grand appearance at the festival. Located near the EPCOT main entrance, these new topiaries are sure to be a must-do photo moment to mark your visit. (Just remember: We don’t talk about Bruno.)
And that’s not all. A new Princess Tiana topiary will grace The American Adventure, along with returning favorites such as Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs; Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Captain Hook and Tick Tock Croc; Figment; Anna and Elsa; and more.
Of course, the popular Garden Rocks Concert Series will also return, featuring favorite tunes at the America Gardens Theatre.
Plus you’ll find lots of other “spring things” at the Festival (including delicious food!):
- Indulge in fresh bites and sips from more than 15 locations, including Outdoor Kitchens around World Showcase.
- Search for Spike the Bee on Spike’s Pollen-Nation Exploration scavenger hunt, where he will “bee” busy collecting nectar and pollinating gardens at EPCOT. Once you find him in each garden on your map, add the corresponding sticker of the plant he is visiting.
- On the bridge to World Showcase, you can enjoy the sights and scents of spring with Blossoms of Fragrance presented by Scentsy. Surrounded by vibrant butterfly topiaries, guests will be invited to follow their noses to six scent stations—to form lasting memories with the help of unforgettable aromas.
- And don’t forget to bring the festival home with you with special merchandise featuring Minnie Mouse, Figment, Spike and that lovable Orange Bird.
Happy Almost Spring!
