Walt Disney World Reveals Dates and Plans for the 2027 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival

Walt Disney World has officially announced the dates and details for the upcoming EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. The popular springtime event will return to EPCOT starting on March 10 and running through May 31, 2027.

The 2027 festival dates span a slightly shorter window than the 2026 event, which ran from March 4 through June 1. This adjusted schedule follows the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, which is scheduled to run from January 15 through March 1, 2027.

Disney has confirmed that several signature elements will return for the 2027 festival. Guests visiting World Celebration, World Discovery, World Nature, and the World Showcase pavilions can expect to find elaborate Disney character topiaries, horticultural displays, and global gardens.

Culinary offerings will once again feature the Outdoor Kitchens, bringing garden-inspired food and drinks to the park. Disney has announced that a complete Foodie Guide detailing the full list of returning favorites and brand-new dishes will be published closer to the festival.

Entertainment will be anchored by the return of the Garden Rocks Concert Series at the America Gardens Theatre. The concert series will feature a mix of chart-topping artists and local talent, with performances included in regular EPCOT park admission. While seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis, Disney will also offer Garden Rocks Dining Packages at select EPCOT restaurants for guests seeking guaranteed seating. Specific performer lineups and dining package reservation dates will be released at a later time.

Families and guests of all ages can also look forward to returning activities, including Spike’s Pollen-Nation Exploration scavenger hunt and the walkthrough butterfly house. Additional details regarding specific merchandise, exact menus, and full event schedules will be shared by Disney as the opening date approaches.
