This year's variety of unique outdoor kitchens opening up around EPCOT, serving up fresh, fragrant and floral delights. Experience the delicious plant-based foods at Trowel and Trellis, try a taste of Florida with some delicious strawberry shortcake at Florida Fresh, or experience a taste of the bayou at Magnolia Terrace. There’ll be something that everyone in the family will love!
Top Tip! Make sure you pick up a Festival Passport on your first visit to the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, as this will be your guide to everything on offer. Use this to complete the Garden Graze trail too, and once you’ve tried at least five of the ten featured dishes and collected your stamps, you’ll receive an exclusive treat from Pineapple Promenade (located near Port of Entry)!
Garden Rocks Concert Series
Once the sun starts setting on the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, the American Adventure Pavilion will come to life with music thanks to exclusive concerts by artists you know and love, taking place almost every night at 5:30pm, 6:45pm and 8pm. Get ready to get into the groove at the Garden Rocks Concert Series, with acts including Rick Springfield, Glass Ceiling, Plain White T’s, Don Felder and many more.

Dining packages are available to book at participating restaurants, including Biergarten Restaurant, Le Cellier Steakhouse, Rose & Crown Dining Room, Spice Road Table and more, offering a delicious meal and guaranteed seating to one Garden Rocks concert on the same day!
Spike’s Pollen-Nation Exploration
The beauty of the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival wouldn’t be possible without the help of pollinators like Spike the Bee. Guests of all ages can purchase a Pollen-Nation Exploration map and sticker set from select merchandise locations in the park for $9.99 plus tax, and follow Spike’s pollination trail around the World Showcase. When you finish the scavenger hunt, take the map to Disney Traders, Creations Shop or World Traveler and you’ll receive a special surprise!
