The 2026 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is back, running from March 4 through June 1. We’ve compiled a full guide to everything you need to know to make the most of your festival experience!
2026 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival
The Festival Passport has everything you need to know about where to go around the park, what Outdoor Kitchens are available, and instructions for participating in the Garden Graze.
With the souvenir gift cards for this year’s festival, you can purchase all the dishes, beverages, and merchandise you desire with just a tap from your wrist. There are two water can-shaped designs featuring Orange Bird and Spike the Bee.
Outdoor Kitchens
Festival dishes can be purchased from the various Outdoor Kitchens and other dining venues located throughout EPCOT. With 35 venues in total, there is bound to be something to suit every palate.
This year, most Outdoor Kitchens will be open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Fridays through Mondays but from 11:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Thursdays. Hours are posted on menu signs near booths.
A new Orange Bird sipper is available at The Citrus Blossom in The Odyssey pavilion with the returning Orange-Lemon Smoothie.

Topiaries & Garden Destinations
See our full list and photos of this year’s topiaries, including several topiaries returning after being absent for several years.
In addition to the topiaries, there are several Garden Destinations — including Butterfly Landing — to enjoy throughout all of EPCOT’s neighborhoods.
Decor
While the main decor for this festival is courtesy of the gardens and topiaries, some areas of EPCOT have received a little sprucing up for the season, like the tiny village at the Germany pavilion. The tiny residents have hung their own tiny festival banners on tiny lampposts.
There are decals around the structure on the World Showcase bridge, and on the park’s entrance columns.
Near Creations Shop in World Celebration are Orange Bird and Spike the Bee trash cans.
The Stormalong Bay-inspired Playalong Bay playground returns on the path between the Imagination! pavilion and World Showcase. Here, kids can get all their energy out while parents and other guests can relax in Adirondack chairs or grab a seat at a nearby picnic table to enjoy their festival food.
On the other side of the park, the World Discovery playground has been transformed into the Camp Get Out ‘N’ Play Garden.
The Citrus Blossom in the Odyssey pavilion is decked out with props and decals on the floors, tables, windows, and walls. Guests can even play Twister or hopscotch.
