The 2021 Taste of EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival is HERE!
Flower & Garden Has Officially Begun!
We’ve already had LOTS of delicious items from the festival kitchens, and checked out tons of entertainment, topiaries, merchandise, and more at the Festival. But, there’s still more Festival fun on the way. This year, Flower & Garden is getting an all NEW concert series! Want to get a peek at what these concerts will be like? We got a preview today and we’re sharing it all with you!
Typically, during EPCOT’s Flower & Garden Festivals we get the Garden Rocks concert series. But this year, Disney’s new concert series will replace that offering.
The new concert series will feature local bands from Orlando, which is also known as “The City Beautiful.” These bands will perform Friday through Monday evenings in the America Gardens Theater, playing popular hits from yesterday and today! Today we got the chance to get a special preview of them in another spot.
Are You Excited for This New Concert Series?
The band that was playing during our preview today was The Vintage Vinyl Band. They performed a number of different songs, including Sunday Morning from Maroon 5 and even a jazzy version of Oops!…I Did It Again from Brittney Spears. So fun! Check them out below.

Again, during our media preview today they were performing in a different spot — but you’ll want to head to America Gardens Theatre to see them play once the concert series officially kicks off.
Time to Rock Out!
The concert series will begin tomorrow, March 5th. You can check out a full list of all of the bands that will be performing and the type of music they’ll be playing in our full schedule post!

We do this because it’s important to us as journalists to ensure not only that we give you unbiased opinions, but also that you can trust us to do so since we’re paying our own way. On rare occasions, when we are invited by a company to attend a preview as media, and when we choose to accept that invitation, we will always make you, our readers, aware of that situation. Today, we were invited by Disney World to attend their media preview of EPCOT’s International Flower and Garden Festival. Note that when we attend events as media we are 1) Not required to review that event/food on any of our channels, and 2) Not required to review that event/food favorably.
