Guide: 2023 Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival

| | |

Spring is almost here! EPCOT is about to debut a new version of one of its most popular festivals. The Taste of EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is a celebration filled with beautiful gardens, delicious food, and entertaining performances. The festival takes place this year from March 1 – July 5, 2023 and features character topiaries, outdoor kitchens, live entertainment, and more! Admission to the festival is included in the cost of your park ticket. Still, select experiences and food and beverage from the outdoor kitchens must be purchased at an additional cost.

This year the festival will be celebrating even more with new topiaries, all-new music, and food kitchens offering many new delish delights!

Topiaries & Global Gardens

The Flower and Garden Festival masterfully created topiaries are back for 2023. These life-sized living sculptures are highly detailed recreations of beloved characters like Mickey Mouse, Sheriff Woody, Snow White, and more. These living works of art are created by Disney Horticulturists who spend months shaping and pruning the life-size topiaries.

For the first time, topiaries of Mirabel, Antonio, Isabela and Luisa from Disney’s “Encanto” will make a grand appearance at the festival. Located near the EPCOT main entrance, these new topiaries are sure to be a must-do photo moment to mark your visit. And that’s not all. A new Princess Tiana topiary will grace The American Adventure. Plus, returning favorites such as Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs; Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Captain Hook and Tick Tock Croc; Figment; Anna and Elsa; and more.
