A Complete Guide to Taste of Flower and Garden Festival 2021

Epcot’s International Flower and Garden Festival is one of the most anticipated festivals in Disney World. It is a fan favorite among many and some even prefer it to the Food and Wine Festival. This year the festival is just a Taste of the Flower and Garden Festival. It won’t be the same festival, but there are still plenty of  fun!

The festival will take place from March 3, 2021 until July 5, 2021. The festival should include delicious food booths, Disney-themed topiaries, garden spaces and wildlife habits, exhibits and tours, and of course, the Garden Rocks concert series.
