Stop and Smell the Roses: 2026 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival
Spring has officially sprung at EPCOT! From March 4 through June 1, 2026, the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival transforms the park into a kaleidoscope of color, flavor, and music. Picture playful topiaries, garden-fresh bites, glowing nighttime magic, and a concert series that turns a stroll through the blooms into a full-on spring celebration at Walt Disney World.
Topiaries That Practically Wink Back
More than 60 character topiaries pop up across the park like they sprouted overnight. At the entrance, Buzz Lightyear, Woody, and Bo Peep pose for photos, while favorites like Stitch, Mike Wazowski, and Lightning McQueen bloom brilliantly throughout the park.
With more than 31 gardens and floral displays, every pathway feels like a living postcard. Fan-favorite experiences include:
-
Butterfly Landing presented by AdventHealth – A flutter-filled walkthrough bursting with color.
-
Camp Get Out ’N’ Play Garden presented by OFF! Repellents – A playful, climb-and-explore space for little adventurers.
-
Blossoms of Fragrance presented by Scentsy – A scent-sational garden designed to delight the senses.
-
English Tea Garden Tours presented by Twinings – A charming nod to tea’s roots and artistry.
-
The Honey Bee-stro Garden – A sweet tribute to the tiny pollinators that keep gardens glowing.
New additions like Pluto’s Pet-Friendly Garden and the Trendy Tropicals Garden bring even more fresh flair to the floral lineup.
When the Sun Sets, the Glow Begins
At CommuniCore Hall, Spike’s garden shifts from sunny sparkle to twinkling twilight. Fireflies flicker, blossoms glow, and spring lingers just a little longer after dark.
