Get Ready For Another Festival: EPCOT Announces Lineup for Garden Rocks Concert Series

As EPCOT gets the International Festival of the Arts underway, it's time to start thinking about the International Flower & Garden Festival - and the fan-favorite Garden Rocks Concert Series lineup!

What’s Happening: 

• Even though it feels like we just started the 2026 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, it’s time to start getting ready for the next big festival at EPCOT - The International Flower & Garden Festival! 
• Taking place this year from March 4 through June 1, 2026, the festival also plays host to a fan-favorite concert series, Garden Rocks! 
• Now, as we get closer to the launch of the festival, we’re learning the lineup for this year’s Garden Rocks concert series, with some returning favorites and new debuts for the festival. 
• As usual, the Garden Rocks Concert Series Dining Package will return again this year, with reservations opening on February 5. 
• Those who partake in this experience will be able to enjoy a meal at select EPCOT restaurants, with an entree and dessert or one full buffet, plus a non-alcoholic or alcoholic beverage. The experience is a bit different at Spice Road Table, where the package includes two small plates, shared tanging, shared dessert platter, and one non-alcoholic beverage. 
• Plus, those who partake get one guaranteed seat per person to the Garden Rocks concert held on the same day as the dining reservation. 
• For more information about visiting EPCOT during the festival and partaking in these dining packages, be sure to reach out to our friends at Mouse Fan Travel!

The Festival: 

• The EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is one of Walt Disney World’s most popular seasonal events, celebrated each spring at this Walt Disney World theme park. 
• The festival includes special gardens, topiary sculptures, and the aforementioned concert series, turning the park into a colorful, seasonal wonderland that’s all included with regular park admission. 
• This year, the fun will take place from March 4 through June 1, giving Walt Disney World guests nearly three months to enjoy the festivities. 
• Over time, some EPCOT fans will be quick to point out that the Flower & Garden festival has sort of morphed into a lite-version of the popular EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, as recent years have included the installation of a number of Outdoor Kitchens (with more seemingly permanent throughout the increased amount of festivals that park hosts) switching up their offerings for each event. 
• The festival debuted back in 1994, and has become a beloved Spring tradition at the park, now with more time for guests to enjoy.
