Spring Fever in the Garden 2025

Join us for the 23rd Annual “Spring Fever in the Garden” festival hosted by the Bloom and Grow Garden Society on Saturday, April 5th, 2025 from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. and Sunday, April 6th, 2025 from 10 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. in historic downtown Winter Garden.

Experience the unique charm of Spring Fever, a garden show featuring plant vendors, garden décor and nature-related products. Last year's Spring Fever festival saw an estimated 2-day attendance of over 60,000 visitors.


Spring Fever is an excellent selling platform for vendors, and it’s a huge draw bringing people to the downtown festival area with a variety of additional exciting activities. From the Chalkin’ It Up! Art Contest and the engaging Kidzone, brimming with endless entertainment for children, to the musical performances in front of city hall, the festival offers something for everyone.


Vendor applications will be reviewed by our committee, with acceptance notification and further instructions provided. The final decision regarding vendor acceptance rests with the Spring Fever in the Garden committee.


The festival stands as the cornerstone of Bloom and Grow’s fundraising efforts. Proceeds go to supporting our higher education scholarships and other well-screened local planting and educational initiatives.


Don’t delay; applications will not be accepted after March 10, 2025.
