The 2027 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival returns March 10 through May 31, with Disney confirming the Garden Rocks Concert Series, Outdoor Kitchens, and the festival’s signature topiaries and gardens are all coming back, though full lineups and menus are still to be announced.
This is very much a first-look announcement rather than a full reveal. Disney confirmed the dates and the three pillars of the festival, character topiaries and garden displays, the Garden Rocks Concert Series at America Gardens Theatre, and the Outdoor Kitchens serving garden-inspired food around the park, but performer lineups, dining package dates, and menu details are all still coming later.
One detail worth noting for trip planning: this year’s run is actually about a week shorter than 2026’s. The 2026 festival ran 89 days, from March 4 to June 1. The 2027 dates work out to roughly 82 days, still a long run compared to Festival of the Arts, but a real trim compared to last year.
That’s an interesting contrast against what Disney just announced for Festival of the Arts, which is getting a full week longer in 2027. Disney isn’t uniformly extending every EPCOT festival next year. It’s adjusting each one differently, which suggests these decisions are being made festival by festival based on how each one is actually performing rather than a blanket policy across the board.
We covered last year’s dates announcement when the 2026 festival was confirmed, and our full 2026 festival guide covers everything that ran this past spring if you want a sense of what typically shows up each year.
