EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival 2025: A Blooming Good Time Awaits!

If you’ve ever wished EPCOT could somehow become even more beautiful, you’re in luck—because the International Flower & Garden Festival is in full bloom now through June 2, 2025! Whether you’re a Disney newbie or a seasoned Passholder, this is one of those limited-time events that brings color, flavor, music, and magic to every corner of the park.

Let’s dig into (pun fully intended ) what makes this festival so special—and how to make the most of it!

What Is the Flower & Garden Festival?

Picture this: dazzling topiaries shaped like your favorite Disney characters, vibrant gardens around every turn, and outdoor food booths (aka Outdoor Kitchens) serving up fresh, seasonal bites from around the world.

It’s part gardening expo, part culinary showcase, part live music event, and all 100% Disney.

The festival is included with regular EPCOT admission, but you’ll want to budget a little for food, merch, and maybe a plant or two to bring home .
