For 127 days, beginning March 1, EPCOT will host the International Flower & Garden Festival, an event where travelers will explore lush gardens, enjoy snacks and drinks, and find collectible souvenirs.

During the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, activities for the whole family will be offered, including the following:

innovative topiaries

This year highlights the debut of the topiaries of Mirabel, Antonio, Isabela and Luisa, from the movie Encanto, who are located at the main entrance of EPCOT to welcome travelers.

Each topiary features character-inspired details, including Isabela creating beautiful flowers between her hands and a light-up butterfly for Mirabel.

Also, in The American Adventure, a new topiary of Princess Tiana is introduced, who wears a ball gown and is accompanied by fireflies.

In the French pavilion, the Lumiere and Din-Don topiaries stand out.

This year, more than 200,000 plants were added to the EPCOT gardens for the festival, including another 60,000 in flowerbeds that create the iconic floral designs that make up the World Celebration East & West Lakes.

The topiary of the Dragonhoused in the Japan pavilion, is comprised of sun-loving succulents, adding bursts of color to the nearly 7-meter-long display.

fresh flavors

Throughout EPCOT are more than 15 outdoor kitchens, where guests will enjoy the freshest flavors as spring turns to summer, including more than 50 new foods and beverages.
