Even though the EPCOT Festival of the Arts is still going strong until February 24th, we can’t help but look forward to the next EPCOT festival, the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival.
Flower and Garden Festival 2024
The EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival officially kicks off on March 5th and runs through June 2nd, 2025. The festival features lots of gorgeous flowers, topiaries, and gardens, plus there is also plenty of food, drinks, merchandise, and entertainment!
Disney just released some NEW information about what to expect at this year’s festival, and of course we had to share it with all of you!
Flower and Garden 2024
First off, there will be TWO new Outdoor Kitchens at the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival, Yacht Grub and Beach Grub. Disney didn’t provide any more information on these new booths beyond the name, but we will be keeping an eye out for more info!
2024 Florida Fresh Outdoor Kitchen
Disney also revealed that the Florida Fresh and Farmers Feast outdoor kitchens will move to CommuniCore Plaza and inside CommuniCore Hall.
Farmer’s Feast 2024
There will also be NEW topiaries joining the festival this year! Maui, Moana, Heihei, and Pua will be welcoming guests walking into the park. We can’t wait to see these Moana characters in their topiary glory!
Flower & Garden Festival 2024 Entrance Topiary
As well, there will be a NEW playground in EPCOT. The Playalong Bay Play Garden presented by Smucker’s Uncrustables, will provide the perfect spot for kiddos to run around. The playground will be nautically inspired and located between the Imagination! pavilion and the entrance to World Showcase.
Beauty and the Beast Topiary
We aren’t stopping there, though. There will also be a brand-new garden inspired by Inside Out 2. The garden will be located in World Celebration, and you will be able to discover the language of emotions as shown in plants.

Of course, there will also be plenty of new merchandise for Flower & Garden. This is the festival’s 30th year, so Disney is pulling out all the stops! You can deck yourself out in orange with a matching shirt and shorts set or spirit jersey. This merchandise will feature the 30th-anniversary logo and Orange Bird.
