The EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival returns in 2025, running from March 5 to June 2. This annual celebration transforms EPCOT into a colorful display of topiaries, gardens, and outdoor kitchens.

Compared to last year’s festival, which ran from February 28 to May 27, 2024, the 2025 festival starts five days later and ends six days later, slightly extending the overall duration.

Since its debut, the event has been a favorite for families and flower enthusiasts alike, showcasing creative floral displays and themed gardens. As part of the celebration, guests can expect enhanced decorations and unique offerings to commemorate three decades of the festival.

Garden Rocks Concert Series

Live music returns to the America Gardens Theatre with the popular Garden Rocks Concert Series. The 2025 lineup includes a mix of returning favorites and new performers. Acts announced so far:

  • March 7, 8: Tommy DeCarlo, former lead singer of Boston

And they don't accept cash in the parks now. 😂

My bet: CommuniCore Hall isn't going to look good for this festival either.

Central Florida in May and September are certainly not a respite from heat and humidity. Probably a lack of slave labor from the CP.

Epcot was dead last summer. Lack of festivals, in a park dependent on festivals, certainly didn't help.

I was hoping they'd eventually do a DCA-style summer festival with centralized ordering and simply pick up at the booths. Or even a redemption necklace for this festival. But even still, there's no reason they couldn't execute a miniature festival with menu items at the two Communicore hall booths, connections, land cart, and sunshine seasons plus some entertainment on the stage

Thunderstorms shut down the outside registers and turn them into cash only nightmares

Maybe they'll at least bring back the Encanto show next to the CommuniCore Hall Summer Homeless Encampment.

Like, they can't keep them cool enough so CM's don't keep dropping like flies?

I am expecting the same as last year, with a festival break in the summer. There is a significant issue relating to operations of the kiosks in the summer.

Are you expecting F&W to not start any earlier either?

Oof. Diet epcot from June 3 til August? Or is the long rumored Epcot International Heat and Humidity Fest finally coming?

That's always been the F&G vibe. Remember when it was Flower Power Concerts until all the 60s bands started dying off?
