We're Expecting Some Big EPCOT News on February 27th!

Festival of the Arts will be coming to an end in EPCOT on February 24th, but have no fear — another festival is right around the corner!

EPCOT’s International Flower & Garden Festival is typically an explosion of springtime beauty with stunning topiaries, exciting dining opportunities, a butterfly garden, and so much more. We got a chance to see some of the merchandise that’s coming to this festival in just a few short weeks, but we’re still waiting to hear what we’ll be able to snack on at the different booths this year. We snooped around on the Disney World website and found a big hint — February 27th could be a big day in the world of Flower and Garden news!

This year the Flower & Garden Festival runs from March 5th to June 2nd. All around the park, you’ll get to see stunning topiaries that you can take photos with, and experience the Garden Rocks Concert Series with popular artists like Simple Plan and the Plain White T’s, as well as local artists.

Of course, there are also the Outdoor Kitchens to explore! Last year we tried some truly amazing dishes that we’re crossing our fingers we’ll see return. Right now, we know that we’ll see two entirely new booths — Yacht Grub and Beach Grub — and we know that favorite Outdoor Kitchens Florida Fresh and EPCOT Farmers Feast will be located in CommuniCore Plaza and CommuniCore Hall, respectively, this year. We also know that Honey Beestro will be returning as well.

We spotted this note on the Disney World website that leads us to believe that we may not get the menus, or the full list of Outdoor Kitchens and topiaries, until February 27th, which would be just under a week before opening day. It reads:

“For details about other great gardens and topiaries at this year’s festival, view the event guide in the My Disney Experience app—available starting February 27, 2025.“

The menu page says to check back in “late February”…and the 27th would count as that, but it’s unclear if that’s exactly when we’ll get menus. However, Disney tends to drop a bunch of festival news at once, so keep this date penciled in on your calendar!

We’ll be covering all the latest festival news leading up to the big day, and bringing you full coverage throughout opening day, so be sure to stay tuned to AllEars for all the latest information!
