What to Expect at the 2024 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival

Topiaries and Garden Displays

One of the primary attractions of the festival is the breathtaking topiaries and floral displays that adorn EPCOT's landscape. From intricate topiaries shaped like beloved Disney characters to meticulously designed flower beds and herb gardens, every corner of the park becomes a canvas for nature's vibrant artwork. EPCOT truly comes alive during this festival and we think Flower and Garden is the prettiest you’ll find the park all year!

Outdoor Kitchens

Foodies rejoice, as the festival introduces a variety of outdoor kitchens offering delectable and creatively crafted dishes. These kitchens showcase fresh, seasonal ingredients, giving visitors the chance to indulge in a culinary journey inspired by the bounties of the garden. This is one of our TOP events for food booths at EPCOT during the year. And the best part? In 2024 you can use snack credits on the Disney Dining Plan for most festival food booth items! 

Garden Rocks Concert Series

The festival isn't just a treat for the eyes and taste buds; it's also a delight for the ears. The Garden Rocks Concert Series features performances by renowned artists across various genres. From classic rock to contemporary hits, the musical lineup caters to a diverse audience, adding another layer of entertainment to the event. Musical acts change each year - so be sure to ask your Be Our Guest Vacations travel professional who will be playing during your visit! A few we are particularly looking forward to this year? Jo De Messina, the Pointer Sisters and Plain White T’s!

The festival is designed to be family-friendly, with activities catering to both the young and the young at heart.
