Flower And Garden Festival 2023 merch includes apparel, accessories, and garden gear. The festival will run from March 1 to July 5.

Another festival coming this March is the Ultra Music Festival 2023.

The Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival is held annually at the Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida. The festival is included with the regular admissions fee for the resort, but many events during the festival cost extra as they are optional.

First held in 1994, the festival has since become one of the most popular events at the Disney resort for almost thirty years. Alongside the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival which occurs from July to November, the two festivals are some of the most anticipated events in the Disney Resort's history.

Sadly, the COVID-19 pandemic caused the festival to go on hiatus, at least until 2022, which makes this year's event the first one in over 3 years.
