Spring Festivals in Orlando: Outdoor Adventures & Cultural Celebrations

Orlando’s spring is in full bloom, offering a lineup of open‑air theme park events and multicultural festivals that promise unforgettable experiences for visitors and locals alike. Highlights include the Taste of EPCOT® International Flower & Garden Festival at Walt Disney World® Resort (pictured; © Disney).

As winter fades, Orlando invites you to celebrate the season with a vibrant array of outdoor festivals—each accessible with park admission to Walt Disney World®, Universal Orlando, SeaWorld®, and LEGOLAND® Florida. Our parks and partners have implemented robust health and sanitization protocols—such as capacity limits, mask and social‑distancing guidelines—to ensure your safety while you enjoy the sunshine.

Slip on comfortable shoes, apply sunblock, and let the festivities begin!
