Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival

The Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival is an annual event that happens at Epcot. The Festival runs in the spring, although for the 2021 event, it runs from March 3 – July 5th, which is much longer than it normally runs. The Festival is included with your admission to Epcot, so that makes is a must see event if you will be visiting Epcot during that time frame.

As the name would suggest, the Flower & Garden Festival is about flowers — and lots of them! The Disney horticulturists do an absolutely incredible job of setting up topiaries throughout Epcot. For the 2021 event, there are a significant number of topiaries setup. Check out the list:

• Sorcerer Mickey Mouse, Broom, Ostriches, Hippo and Mushroom – Main Entrance

However, the Flower & Garden Festival is home to much more than just topiaries. Part of the allure of Epcot is taking the time to enjoy the flowers while also enjoying the cultural foods that you can experience around Epcot’s World Showcase. The items that you can purchase for consumption include tasty snacks, drinks, alcoholic beverages, and more. In addition, you can also take a look at some of the Festival merchandise that is for sale. For example, take a look at some of the Orange Bird merchandise.
