The 2026 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival will run from March 4th through June 1st, 2026, and we can’t wait to check out everything it has to offer!
Disney just dropped a ton of exciting info about fan-favorite experiences returning to this festival, so let’s take a look!
Disney just confirmed several of our favorite experiences are returning to the 2026 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival! From Outdoor Kitchens to the Garden Rocks Concert Series, to fun activities for the whole family and more, we can’t wait to check it all out. Without further ado, let’s get into it!
Spike’s PollenNation Exploration
The Disney honeybee named Spike pollinates his way around the festival, and guests can follow his trail in this fun scavenger hunt!
Festival goers can purchase a map and stickers (the 2025 price was $9.99 plus tax) at select locations (look for a sign like the one below), then fill in the map as they search for the plants Spike has pollinated.
Once your map is complete, you can return it to Creations, World Traveler, or Disney Traders and collect a prize!
Eggstravaganza Scavenger Hunt
The Egg-Stravaganza Scavenger Hunt is an extra Easter-season activity that is available for a limited time (through Easter, while supplies last). You can purchase a map and stickers at select merchandise locations around World Showcase.
Next, hunt for cute Disney character “eggs” throughout World Showcase and mark your map with the corresponding character egg sticker.
When you find all the “eggs,” you can return your completed map to Disney Traders and pick a “sp-egg-tacular surprise” that makes an adorable souvenir!
Butterfly Landing presented by AdventHealth
The Butterfly Landing allows guests to visit beautiful butterflies in a gorgeous garden setting each day until dusk.
You can find it just out front of the Land Pavilion, to the left.
Garden Graze
The Garden Graze is a plant-based food stroll through the Flower and Garden Festival. Be sure to get your Festival Passport stamped at each location where you purchase a Garden Graze item so you can claim your prize!
Once you complete the Garden Graze, simply visit Pineapple Promenade for your prize!
Garden Rocks Concert Series
Throughout the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival, popular bands spanning the decades take the stage at the American Gardens Theater in The American Adventure Pavilion in EPCOT to share some of their greatest hits with the crowds! These concerts are free with EPCOT admission and take place at the America Gardens Theater.
