Now is the best time to attend the amazing festivals at our local theme parks in Central Florida! It is a great time of year to be outside and visit Epcot, Busch Gardens and SeaWorld with your family and friends. Each festival caters to your taste buds, your ears and your sense of wonderment and fun!

Epcot’s Flower and Garden Festival

Dates: Now through May 28, 2018

Why I love this festival: Flowers, flowers and more flowers! From the moment you walk into Epcot, you are surrounded by gorgeous flowers and beautiful topiaries of your favorite Disney characters. There are also two fun playgrounds for your little ones to climb all over. Walk through a beautiful butterfly garden with hundreds of butterflies all around. With over 15 food stations, your mouth will water over Frushi (Fruit Sushi) from Japan or a delicious chocolate macaroon from France. There is also a free nightly concert at America’s Gardens Theatre for your enjoyment.

Busch Garden’s Food and Wine Festival

Dates: Every Saturday & Sunday through April 28, 2018

Why I love this festival: #CorksandCoasters, need I say more? The Busch Garden’s Food and Wine Festival gives you the thrill of riding a 90-degree inverted coaster and the pleasure of Bacon Mac n’ Cheese. There are so many amazing items to eat and drink! You can also see the beautiful elephants graze and feed a kangaroo. At night, Gwazi Park lights up with the sounds of TLC, Boyz II Men, Bret Michaels and the All American Rejects at a free concert that’s included with your admission.

SeaWorld’s Seven Seas Food Festival

Dates: Every Saturday & Sunday through April 15, 2018

Why I love this festival: Your taste buds will be in heaven at SeaWorld. There are so many food and drink choices at the Seven Seas Festival. Enjoy conch fritters served with pineapple & jalapeño salsa or banana foster cheesecake cone. The options are endless! Hunter Hayes and the Eli Young Band will get you up dancing at Bayside Stadium with a free concert every night. Make sure to ride Mako one of the newest rides at SeaWorld that is fast, high flying and so much fun!

Get outdoors and check out these awesome festivals! If you live near or far, it is worth the trip! All of our communities in Orlando and Tampa are only 20 -30 minute drive away, but it is worth the drive or a flight in from any Camden community! Come enjoy this whole new way of experiencing our local theme parks.
