EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival 2024
EPCOT’s International Flower & Garden Festival Guide
Spring will be arriving soon! EPCOT’s Flower & Garden Festival is returning to Walt Disney World and we have all the details.
The International Flower & Garden Festival celebrates the spring and fresh offerings and includes Outdoor Kitchens, topiaries and gardens, two scavenger hunts, the Garden Rocks Concert Series, themed merchandise, and more. Additionally, the Garden Graze will be back again this year, highlighting eight sweet and savory plant-based food offerings.
This year, Flower & Garden will run from February 28th to May 27th - the festival is shorter this year than usual with only 90 days. Admission is included with park tickets to EPCOT. Park pass reservations may be necessary depending on ticket type. We will be filming two videos this year and will be there on the first day of the festival!

Outdoor Kitchens and Garden Graze
No EPCOT festival is complete without food booths! The Outdoor Kitchen Food Booths for the festival feature fresh seasonal menus and creative cuisine, with over 60 new items this year. For a full list of all the outdoor kitchens at Epcot’s International Flower & Garden Festival, check out our blog post with every menu! This post will be updated with prices, booth menu photos, reviews, and more once the festival starts.
The Garden Graze Food Stroll is also returning this year! First you’ll need to pick up a Festival Passport. Then visit Outdoor Kitchen locations and purchase a fresh sweet or savory treat for a stamp in your passport. Once you receive five stamps, present your passport to receive a free specialty prize! The Garden Graze can be completed in one day or throughout the whole festival. You can also get five of the same item or five different items- or any variation of five offerings, as long as you get five stamps on your passport. For a list of Garden Graze items and locations, read more here.

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! This year features over 70 topiaries and 25 interactive global gardens, with a few new offerings and many returning favorites for 2024. New topiaries include a Groot topiary outside Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Walt Disney Animation Wish topiaries featuring Asha, Valentino, and the Wishing Star located at the EPCOT main entrance, and Disney Pixar Coco topiaries featuring Miguel and Dante at the Mexico Pavilion. Some topiaries will be in new locations this year, including (but not limited to) Figment, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, Goofy, and the Encanto group topiary. Additionally, there will be two new gardens including a Gnome Garden at the Germany Pavilion and the Penjing Garden in the China Pavilion.

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 Disney Traders, Creations Shop, or World Traveler at International Gateway. 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 back to one of the three listed shops to redeem for a prize!
The scavenger hunt map will be valid through May 27th, 2024, subject to availability. I would suggest redeeming for your prize early if you can- they do sometimes run out of prizes by the end of the festival.
For more details, including spoilers for all the Spike the Bee locations and prize, see this post!
Egg-Stravaganza Scavenger Hunt
Similar to the Spike’s Pollen-Nation Scavenger Hunt, for the Egg-Stravaganza Scavenger Hunt you’ll purchase a map for $9.99 plus tax. Once you have your map, you’ll hunt around EPCOT for 12 Disney Rabbit 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, Creations Shop, or World Traveler at International Gateway for a prize!
The Egg-Stravaganza Scavenger Hunt began on March 5th and will run until April 9th, or while supplies last. I would suggest redeeming for your prize early if you can- they do sometimes run out of prizes by Easter.

Mini Festival Gift Cards
Mini festival-themed Disney gift cards themed to the festival will be available! Festival gift cards can be worn on your wrist making it easier to scan for your festival purchases, and they’re a nice way to set a budget for your day.
Garden Rocks Concert Series
The Garden Rocks Concert Series is back for EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival! Disney recently announced the artist lineup for Garden Rocks, featuring a varied group of internationally recognized artists performing Fridays through Mondays, and local Orlando bands taking the stage Tuesdays through Thursdays.

There will be three shows a night with showtimes at 5:30pm, 6:45pm, and 8pm daily, subject to change. Be sure to 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!
