This year’s informational displays are all about gardening. The first display says “Sunlight to Starbright Gardening Guide.” The top has tiny text too which reads “nature never sleeps!”

The net display titled "Flight at Night" is focused on nocturnal creatures such as bats, owls, fireflies, and southern flying squirrels.

Titled “Flowers at all Hours” focuses on flowers that bloom at any time of day. From the daisy which blooms in the daytime to the jasmine which blooms at night.

The Zebra Longwing (Florida's state butterfly) is the star of the next display. It focuses on the butterfly's life cycle.

On the last display is information about planting a garden based on where the moon is in its cycle. This display is titled, fittingly, “Planting by the Moon.”

Flanking the hall on the other side is the same kind of oversized floral display.

CommuniCore Hall is where you'll also find the EPCOT Farmers Feast. This is one of the many festival food options designed specifically for Flower and Garden Festival.

By the EPCOT Farmers Feast booth, this year’s dining tables also center flowers and other garden goodies. Five of the tables have flowers and the sixth table is a red mushroom with white spots.

Even the light fixtures carry the hall’s theming. One is designed to reflect the daytime. A bright sun is at the center with a butterfly flying and a ring of bright flowers surrounding the fixture. The other is a full moon, night sky with Spike the Bee flying by, casting a black shadow against the moon.

The EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival runs from March 4 to June 1, 2026. Take a look at the festival passport and merchandise that is currently available online.
