Note: The 2026 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival ran March 4 through June 1, 2026, and has now ended. This guide is kept as a record of that year's outdoor kitchens and menu. The festival returns to EPCOT every spring, so use the booths and dishes below as a strong preview of what the event looks like rather than a menu you can order from today, and check Disney's current festival page for this year's dates before you plan a visit.

The 2026 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival ran from March 4 through June 1, 2026. That year's festival brought over 20 outdoor kitchens and more than 75 brand-new menu items. Whether you are a returning festival foodie or a first-timer planning ahead, here is what there was to eat and drink around the park.

Garden Graze Food Stroll

The popular Garden Graze passport program returned this year. You picked up a passport at any participating outdoor kitchen, collected five stamps by purchasing qualifying items (marked with a carrot icon below), and redeemed the completed card at Pineapple Promenade for an exclusive treat. It was a great way to structure a tasting tour around the World Showcase.

World Celebration

Florida Fresh

CommuniCore Plaza, March 4 to May 25

This booth celebrated local Florida flavors. Highlights included the new Blackened Fish Slider with fried green tomato and Cajun rémoulade, alongside the always-popular Conch Fritters with Key Lime aïoli.

EPCOT Farmers Feast

CommuniCore Hall

This sit-down style booth rotated its menu seasonally. The Early Bloom Menu (March 4 to April 5) featured Grilled Asparagus with truffle sherry vinaigrette and a Scallop with spring pea risotto. The Springtime Menu (April 6 to May 10) switched to Heirloom Tomatoes and Fresh Mozzarella and a Grilled Beef Strip Loin with tomato risotto.

World Nature

Nectar (NEW in 2026)

Land Kiosk, hosted by AdventHealth

A booth new for 2026 featuring health-forward options. The Tuna Poke Bowl with edamame, avocado, and mango was a highlight, along with a plant-based version. The Coconut Panna Cotta with cherry gelée and matcha crumb was entirely plant-based and looked stunning.

Beach Grub & Yacht Grub

Walkway between World Showcase and Imagination! Pavilion

Beach Grub brought a showstopping Seafood Bake with shrimp, mussels, clams, and andouille sausage. The new Orange Cream Bar was a must-try dessert. Yacht Grub offered a more refined Captain's Board with cheeses and cured meats alongside the popular Trio of Dips and Chips.

World Discovery

BRUNCHCOT

Near Test Track

The breakfast-all-day booth returned with two new additions: Shrimp and Grits with blackened shrimp and tasso ham gravy, and French Toast with cinnamon cereal cream and caramel sauce. The Avocado Toast with Boursin Dairy-Free Cheese remained a plant-based favorite.

The Citrus Blossom

Odyssey

A festival fan-favorite, this booth offered citrus-inspired dishes. The returning Orange-Sesame Tempura Shrimp was a crowd-pleaser, while the new Cinnamon Beignets with lemon sugar and honey mead-blueberry compote were not to be missed. Garden Graze participants could grab the plant-based Lumpia or Lemon Tart for a stamp.

World Showcase Highlights

Fleur de Lys, France

France brought three new dishes that year. The Canard Confit (pulled duck confit with rosemary-mushroom sauce) and Tarte Aux Oignons Caramelises (caramelized onion tart with bacon) were standouts. The new Caramelized Beignet filled with vanilla cream was also worth a stop.

Tips for Festival Foodies

These tips apply to any year's Flower & Garden Festival, so keep them handy for your next spring visit:

  • Pick up a Garden Graze passport early. Qualifying items are at booths all around the park, and the exclusive reward treat at Pineapple Promenade is worth it.
  • Go during weekday evenings for shorter booth lines.
  • Share plates. Portions are designed for sampling, so split with friends and try more booths.
  • Check the rotating menus at EPCOT Farmers Feast, which changed in early April in 2026, so a second visit was worth it for the full experience.
  • Don't forget drinks. Some of the best festival items are the specialty cocktails and slushies.

The 2026 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival ended on June 1, 2026. The festival returns to EPCOT each spring with a refreshed lineup of outdoor kitchens, so for the year you are visiting, check the Disney Parks Blog for the current dates and menus.
