The season of spring is showcased at Epcot® with fresh seasonal dishes and beverages at every stop, bright colored topiary displays (many of which are character-themed) and beautiful gardens. The festival kicks off March 1st and runs through May 29th this year. Visit during the weekend and you can catch the Garden Rocks Concert Series, complimentary presentations and take-home tips for the gardener in you.
