About the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival
The Flower & Garden Festival is EPCOT’s longest-running festival and its most photogenic. Millions of blooms, character topiaries and themed gardens line the park, while Outdoor Kitchens serve fresh, produce-driven dishes that suit Florida’s spring weather.
Spring break makes March crowded, but the festival stretches into early June, giving locals and summer travelers plenty of time to visit. Late April and May weekdays are often a great balance of good weather and lighter crowds.
