More details have been revealed for the 2026 Flower & Garden Festival at Epcot. That includes the full lineup for the Garden Rocks Concert Series at the America Gardens Theatre. In this post, we’ll share everything that is coming to the 2026 iteration of Epcot Flower & Garden Festival.

This year’s festival kicks off on March 4th and will run through June 1st. That’s the exact same amount of dates as last year and it appears that Disney has settled on keeping Epcot festival-less during the summer. Of course, that could change as the company pushes the 250th American celebration.

As for the Flower & Garden Festival, if your schedule is wide open, then we recommend going to the festival earlier in its run rather than later. That’s solely based on how the flowers bloom and weather. Flower & Garden’s offerings don’t lessen as the festival moves along.

The meat of what was announced today was the concert lineup. After sharing that, I’ll add in some information about what else to expect at Flower & Garden. We’ll also be updating our festival guide as March gets closer.

I won’t add much in the way of commentary to this concert lineup. These shows are a nice addition to the festival but not especially appealing to me. The lineup is a nice way for locals to go enjoy some concerts and if an artist you like aligns with your vacation dates then all the better. There is a wide range of performers and it feels like a ‘something for everybody’ situation.

More than 60 topiaries showcasing different Disney characters will be blooming across the park. 31 gardens and floral displays will offer opportunities to explore, relax, and enjoy the stunning horticulture Disney is known for. The topiaries and gardens are the heartbeat of the festival and are featured throughout World Celebration, World Discovery, World Nature, and World Showcase.

I’m eager to see if there will be any additional announcements made. Even if there isn’t anything new or the concert lineup isn’t appealing, Flower & Garden is well worth checking out!
