The EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival will return from March 10 to May 31, 2027, bringing back one of the most popular springtime events at Walt Disney World. If you've been before, you know what to expect: the park fills with character topiaries, elaborate garden displays, outdoor food booths, and live music performances.
Here's what we know is returning for 2027.
The Gardens and Topiaries
The topiary displays are usually the centerpiece of the festival. You'll find character-shaped topiaries scattered throughout EPCOT, along with colorful garden installations and floral arrangements designed to be great backdrops for photos. Disney hasn't shared specifics about which characters will get topiary treatments this year, so we'll have to wait for more details on that front.
Garden Rocks Concert Series
The America Gardens Theatre will host the Garden Rocks Concert Series during the festival. This is where the festival brings in live musicians, and your park ticket includes admission to the concerts. Seating is first-come, first-served, though if you want a guaranteed seat, Disney will offer dining packages that pair meals at select EPCOT restaurants with reserved seating.
The full performer lineup and dining package reservation dates haven't been announced yet, so check back with the Disney Parks Blog for that information when it's released.
Outdoor Kitchens
The Outdoor Kitchens are a big part of the festival's appeal, especially if you're into food. These temporary booths pop up around the park offering seasonal dishes inspired by gardens and global flavors. Disney says there will be new items alongside returning favorites, but the full menus will be shared later.
What's Next
Disney will release more details in the coming months, including specific Outdoor Kitchen menus, merchandise information, and other activities happening during the festival. If you're planning to visit during this time, it's worth keeping an eye on the Disney Parks Blog for updates.
