Garden Rocks Concert in 2022
Dining package reservations for the Garden Rocks Concert Series just opened today, and if you’re even thinking about doing one, it’s worth booking now. These tend to be one of the first things people scoop up once Flower & Garden planning starts…so here’s how it works!
Alright friends, today’s the day! If you’ve been waiting to snag one of those coveted dining packages for the upcoming EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival Garden Rocks Concert Series, you can finally book them now, 60 days prior to your desired date! Reservations opened today, and trust me, these tend to go fast because they pair a great meal with guaranteed concert seating later in the day. The festival runs from March 4th to June 1st, 2026.

Garden Rocks!
Let’s be real, though, concert seating at EPCOT’s festival can be a little chaotic if you show up at the last minute. You’ve got people arriving early, staking out spots, and generally treating it like a mini tailgate. But a Garden Rocks Dining Package takes that stress out of the equation by giving you priority seating after you’ve enjoyed a meal at a participating restaurant.

That means no scurrying across the park just to secure a place for the music — instead, you can relax, eat, and then stroll over to the show knowing your seat is waiting.

So what does a dining package actually include? Most locations will pair a full entrée and dessert (or in some cases a buffet) with a non-alcoholic or alcoholic beverage, depending on where you book.

Choose Showtime First, then Participating Restaurant Times will populate
There are tons of great restaurants to choose from around World Showcase, ranging from cozy France pavilion restaurants like La Crêperie de Paris to well-loved classics like Garden Grill, all offering slightly different dining experiences before the show.
