What was EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival 2025?

The spring festival combined character topiaries, gardens, Outdoor Kitchens and Garden Rocks concerts. Food, merchandise and optional packages were separate purchases.

What was new for the 30th anniversary?

Disney announced a Moana-themed entrance topiary display for 2025 and a horticulture-focused experience at CommuniCore Hall. These were specific to that year’s announcement. The Encanto photo above is an illustrative festival image from our original article, not the 2025 entrance display.

Who performed at Garden Rocks in 2025?

Early announced acts included Tommy DeCarlo, Air Supply, Blue October, Rick Springfield, Herman’s Hermits starring Peter Noone, 38 Special and Jason Scheff. See our 2025 Garden Rocks schedule archive for the dated lineup.

Is Festival of the Arts the same event?

No. The 2025 Festival of the Arts ran January 17–February 24 and focused on visual, culinary and performing arts. Flower & Garden followed in March. Choose the actual festival dates that match your interests rather than assuming both events overlap.
