Hard to start thinking about spring when we are not even through January yet but why not begin with warm thoughts. As many of you know, one of our favorite times to go to Epcot is during the International Flower and Garden Festival. This is for many reasons but the biggest being the food, topiaries and the music. This year looks to be the on par for the music in reviewing the Garden Rocks 2020 schedule. A lof the bands that are set to perform this year are veterans when it comes to the festival. With repeat appearances for a couple years or more. However, there are several that are new to Epcot such as Mark Willis and Daughtry.

Take in a show!
There are still a few dates that have not been booked yet but usually fill up as we get closer to the start date of the Garden and Flower Festival. There are quite a few performers that are definitely worth checking out if you are able to go. It is an open venue so that you can sit to take the show in or catch it a little further back or while walking by. Watching the shows and enjoying mickey pretzel is a pretty good way to enjoy the evening. The performers usually have a couple of shows per day, giving a little flexibility when you go.
If you could see any of the bands in the Garden Rocks 2020 line up, who would it be? Let us know in the comments below!
