Posted: Wednesday December 3, 2025 9:00am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Disney has set the dates for the 2026 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival. The festival will run March 4 through June 1, 2026. That's a slight shift from the 2025 season, which took place March 5 to June 2. You get a similar spring window, with the festival starting one day earlier and ending one day sooner.

The Flower and Garden Festival continues to focus on topiaries, gardens, outdoor kitchens, and seasonal entertainment spread across EPCOT. Disney has not yet shared what will be new for 2026, including topiary additions or menu changes. Those updates typically arrive as the festival approaches.

You can expect familiar elements across the park:

  • Garden displays in World Celebration and throughout World Showcase.
  • Topiaries placed along walkways and attractions.
  • Outdoor kitchens operating daily during the festival.
  • Weekend concerts.

Check back as more details are released about the 2026 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival - including food menus, entertainment schedules, and specialty merchandise.

I saw Air Supply at Epcot some years ago, and yes, they still sound great. Also saw Chubby Checker there with my dad, Chubby is not from my era but my dad had a great time. I'm bummed that I'll miss Billy Ocean by just a few days, again! 😞

A decent number of acts worth seeing. We have a friend who has been anxiously awaiting the concert lineup, they will be happy to see it once they get off their flight home in about... 2 hours. :)

Well, de facto ELO is always a good band to see (and so is Air Supply - they still sound like they're almost directly off the albums, if I didn't literally hear them myself I'd say they're playing to tracks)... Quite a few repeats, and some I seriously wonder who they are (hint, the more modern ones). Could be wrong, but I believe Chubby Checker is one of the few R&R Hall of Fame artists (if not the only) who has performed as part of any Disney concert series at WDW. At least in recent decades (might be some from the old Flower Power days I'm unaware of). He's still apparently quite good. And once again seeing Plain White T's reduced to playing Epcot (growing up they were legitimately popular) is a depressing sign that I'm getting old... even if I am not even 30. Bloody hell, why do these concert series make me feel old!

Unbelievable…. Every single time I make it down to Florida and visit Epcot during any of the various Festivals, there is never a musical act i actually want to see on the dates I am in town! The ones I want to see are always before or after my dates….. Always…!! 😑 Would be nice to see Rick Springfield, The Orchestra ( big E.L.O fan ), 38 Special, or Herman’s Hermits with Peter! Dang it… -

Also wish they’d use the pavilion again between Canada and England. Used to love the work shops on gardening and horticulture. Plus it’s an area to cool off for a bit.

It would be nice to see them bring back a full week worth of name brand acts instead of restricting them to weekends...
