The 2022 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival kicked off on March 2, 2022 and will run through July 4, 2022. This is EPCOT’s longest festival and includes new and returning experiences that celebrate the beauty of horticulture. Most experiences are included with your cost of admission (be sure you have a valid park ticket and park reservation).
Below is information about all that there is to offer at the 2022 International Flower & Garden Festival.

One of my favorite offerings is Spike’s Pollen-Nation Exploration. Guests are invited to join Spike the Bee on his pollination trail throughout EPCOT.
