Foodie Guide to EPCOT's International Flower & Garden Festival 2023

Springtime is in the air, and we all know what that means – the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is just around the corner. From March 1 to July 5, 2023, EPCOT will be transformed with flavors, flowers, and fun!

This year, over 15 Outdoor Kitchens are abloom with the freshest flavors and ingredients that are sure to be bursting with flavor. With returning favorites like the Honey-Mascarpone Cheesecake from The Honey Bee-stro Hosted by National Honey Board or the Boneless IMPOSSIBLE Korean Short Rib at Trowel & Trellis Hosted by IMPOSSIBLE and nearly 50 – yes, 50 – new dishes about to blossom for the first time like the Muffuletta Panini from Magnolia Terrace and the Citrus Baked Brie from The Citrus Blossom, guests will definitely want to try everything. If they can buzz back multiple times, ‘bee’ sure they check out EPCOT Farmers Feast, which has a seasonal menu that changes as the festival progresses! No two visits are the same as guests enjoy the nostalgia of their favorite dishes or discover new treats and eats.

Make sure guests don't forget to grab a festival passport to indulge in the returning Garden Graze food stroll featuring 11 tasty treats from various Outdoor Kitchens. Guests simply get a stamp on their passport after their purchase and once they collect five, they can receive their exclusive treat from the Pineapple Promenade.
