The EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival 2026 officially opened on March 4 and runs through June 1. The annual spring celebration brings more than 20 outdoor kitchens, 75-plus new menu items, character topiaries, and the Garden Rocks Concert Series to Walt Disney World.
What’s New This Year
The 2026 festival features several new outdoor kitchens and returning favorites spread across World Celebration, World Nature, World Discovery, and World Showcase.
Nectar hosted by AdventHealth is the biggest new addition, located at the former Land Kiosk. The booth focuses on fresh, health-forward options including a Tuna Poke Bowl and a plant-based Coconut Panna Cotta with cherry gelée and matcha crumb.
BRUNCHCOT returns near Test Track with two standout new items: Shrimp and Grits with blackened shrimp, cheddar cheese grits, and tasso ham gravy, and French Toast with cinnamon cereal cream and caramel sauce. The Peach Bellini is back as well.
Other highlights across the outdoor kitchens include the Sha Cha Beef Bao Bun at Lan Yuan, the Blackened Shrimp Po’ Boy at the new Magnolia Terrace, and Cinnamon Beignets with honey mead-blueberry compote at The Citrus Blossom.
Garden Graze Food Stroll
The Garden Graze returns this year with nine designated treats across the outdoor kitchens. Guests pick up a Festival Passport, collect five stamps from participating booths, and receive an exclusive treat from Pineapple Promenade. Look for the 🥕 symbol on menus to identify qualifying items, which include the plant-based Poke Bowl at Nectar, Grilled Street Corn at Beach Grub, and the Seasonal Fruit Parfait at Refreshment Outpost.
Garden Rocks Concert Series
The America Gardens Theatre hosts the Garden Rocks Concert Series throughout the festival run. Acts perform three sets nightly on select dates, and performances are included with park admission.
Topiaries and Gardens
Character topiaries featuring Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Pluto, and others are placed throughout the park. EPCOT’s gardens feature vibrant seasonal plantings and themed garden displays alongside the World Showcase promenade.
