EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival
EPCOT’s International Flower & Garden Festival Guide
Spring is coming! EPCOT’s Flower & Garden Festival is returning to Walt Disney World and we have all the details.
The International Flower & Garden Festival celebrates the creation of art and cuisine and includes Outdoor Kitchens, Topiaries and Gardens, a Spike the Bee-themed scavenger hunt, exclusive merchandise, and the return of the Garden Rocks Concert Series. Additionally, the Garden Graze will be back again this year, highlighting five sweet and savory offerings at the Flower & Garden Festival.
This year, Flower & Garden will run from March 2nd to July 4th- the festival is 125 days long! Admission is included with park tickets and a park pass reservation to EPCOT. This post will be updated as more information becomes available about the 2022 Flower & Garden Festival.
Outdoor Kitchens and Garden Graze
No EPCOT festival is complete without food booths! With eighteen Outdoor Kitchens plus a few additional exclusive offerings, new menu items, returning favorites, and fresh seasonal food and drink are available throughout the World Showcase. For a full list of all the food studios at Epcot’s International Flower & Garden Festival, check out our blog post with every menu, photos, and prices!
The Garden Graze is back! First you’ll need to pick up a Festival Passport. Then visit each Outdoor Kitchen location and purchase a fresh sweet or savory treat for a stamp in your passport. Once you receive all five stamps, present your passport to receive a free specialty prize! For a list of Outdoor Kitchen locations and Garden Graze items, read more here!
The Garden Graze can be completed in one day or throughout the whole festival. You can also get five of the same item or one of each offering- or any variation on the five offerings, as long as you get five stamps on your passport.

Garden Rocks Concert Series
The Garden Rocks Concert Series has returned to EPCOT’s International Flower & Garden Festival! The Garden Rocks Concert Series features internationally recognized artists performing Fridays through Mondays and local Orlando bands taking the stage Tuesdays through Thursdays.
This popular concert series runs from March 2nd to July 4th at the America Gardens Theatre in the America Pavilion at Epcot. There will be multiple shows a night. We will update here once we have times, but be sure to also consult the My Disney Experience app for the latest information. The Garden Rocks Concert Series does have limited seating so be sure to show up early for the performance you’re hoping to see! There are also Garden Rocks Dining Packages available, which guarantees a seat to a performance that evening. Dining Packages are only available for Fridays through Mondays for Garden Rocks. Online reservations opened on January 19th, 2022. Advanced reservations are highly recommended for dining packages and can be made up to 60 days in advance.
Topiaries & Global Gardens
Topiaries and Global Gardens are one of the main features of the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. Beautiful greenery will be growing all over Epcot for the festival! This year features over 20 topiaries and 22 gardens, both new and returning for 2022. For a full list of topiaries and global gardens including locations, check out this post.
Spike’s Pollen-Nation Exploration
Scavenger Hunt
Spike’s Pollen-Nation Exploration Scavenger Hunt is back at the festival. Follow Spike the Bee throughout EPCOT while he collects nectar and pollinates gardens to get a prize!
To participate, purchase a map for $9.99 from Port of Entry, Creations Shop, or World Traveler. Venture around EPCOT and follow Spike’s pollination trail- once you find them, use the stickers provided with your map to mark what you find. Once you complete your map, bring it to Disney Traders, Creations Shop, or World Traveler to redeem it for a gift!
The scavenger hunt map will be valid through July 4th, 2022.
Egg-Stravaganza Scavenger Hunt
While the Egg-Stravaganza Scavenger Hunt hasn’t been confirmed yet for 2022, it’s likely to come back this year for EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival!
Similar to the Spike’s Pollen-Nation Scavenger Hunt, for the Egg-Stravaganza Scavenger Hunt you’ll purchase a map- last year the price was $7.99 plus tax but I could see it increasing to $9.99 plus tax in line with the other scavenger hunt price increases. Once you have your map, you’ll hunt around EPCOT for Disney character-themed Easter Eggs. Once you find all the eggs and place their corresponding stickers in your map, you’ll return it to Disney Traders for a prize!
We will update here once we have confirmation of the Easter egg hunt for 2022.
