Festival Dates

The 2025 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival will take place from March 5th through June 2nd, 2025, ending just before the start of summer.

This EPCOT Festival honors the beauty of floral springtime and offers several Outdoor Kitchens, the Garden Rocks Concert Series, Disney-themed gardens and topiaries, merchandise, and more.

Getting Started and Crowds

It was a rainy morning in EPCOT, but that did not stop people from wanting to be among the first to experience the festival. It’s a good thing many people were prepared and packed their ponchos!

Once we were let into the park, we were held up for a bit, which made the crowds seem worse. Things started to clear up once we were let inside the park. Be warned — EPCOT Festivals tend to attract crowds, especially on the weekend.

See what the crowds are like on the first day of the festival here!

Good morning from the FIRST DAY of the International Flower & Garden Festival in EPCOT! Stay tuned today as we take on all of the booths, check out new merch, see live entertainment, and MORE! ??????? pic.twitter.com/3K7kSujj5A

Signs and Decor

When you enter EPCOT from the front entrance, you’ll be greeted with a topiary inspired by Moana 2. There is a Moana, Maui, Pua, and Hei-Hei topiary. Plus, at nighttime, Moana’s oar and Maui’s hook light up!

EPCOT is celebrating 30 years of the Flower and Garden Festival, so there are signs throughout the park with big “30s” on them! You will also find signs and decor featuring Spike the Bee throughout the park! The banners have the cute phrase “30 Years and Growing!”

Here’s another fun banner you might spot during the event — how cute!

Only Disney Adults would be excited about trash cans, but for good reason! There are special Orange Bird trashcans for Flower and Garden! We spotted one outside of the Creations Shop!

We love that this year’s decor pays homage to 30 years of this beautiful festival, and we hope that it will continue to grow and be a staple of EPCOT’s festivals for years to come!

Festival Passport

Just like other EPCOT Festivals, the Flower & Garden Festival has its own passport packed with all the info you’d ever need about the event! We grabbed ours at the front entrance of EPCOT, but you can also find them at a majority of the kiosk areas at the outdoor kitchens, most merchandise locations, guest relations, and at the International Gateway Entrance. You can also get all this info via the My Disney Experience app.

This year’s passport features an adorable 30-year stamp! If you collect Disney World maps or festival passports, you are going to want to add this one to your collection!

Festival Merchandise

Every EPCOT Festival has its own merchandise, and the 2025 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is no exception!

You will find the most Flower and Garden merchandise at the Creations Shop towards the front of EPCOT. There are typically smaller merchandise displays throughout the park, too, at spots like World Traveler, CommuniCore Hall, and The Odyssey. 

No festival is complete without classic merchandise like a Loungefly bag, Spirit Jersey, and ears. It’s a good thing this festival has all of that!

This adorable Loungefly backpack features patches with Orange Bird and Spike the Bee. Look closely, and you can spot the 30-year patch!

A look at this year’s Spirit Jersey. The front has a small 30-year symbol on it.

This year’s festival actually has TWO pairs of ears! The first, of course, features one of the festival’s mascots, Orange Bird!

The second pair is Alice in Wonderland-themed. We love the butterfly bow!

Speaking of Alice in Wonderland, there is an exclusive Loungefly crossbody for the festival.

Lug bags are a newcomer to Disney World, and the festival exclusives tend to fly off the shelves!

Check out all the NEW 2025 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival merchandise!

We know what you’re most excited for (because it’s what we’re most excited to experience, too!) — THE TONS AND TONS OF FESTIVAL EATS!

There are a whopping 20 Outdoor Kitchens this year (PLUS specialty offerings at additional locations around the park) serving up fresh-from-the-GARDEN flavors! That also includes two NEW Outdoor Kitchens for 2025: Yacht Grub and Beach Grub! Some permanent restaurants and additional locations will be serving up Festival eats, too.
