In past years, this marketplace featured hearty dishes featuring Americana favorites that pair especially well with beer. We are glad to see DFB favorite Beef Brisket Burnt Ends Hash with White Cheddar Fondue and Pickled Jalapeños back again this year!

Lighter beverages were perfect for sipping and strolling during last year’s event. This year, the non-alcoholic version of the Twinings® Green Tea Berry Mint Julep is one of our favorites!

We’re always interested to see what the Fleur de Lys Outdoor Kitchen in the France Pavilion shares. We are so happy to welcome back their Tarte à l’Onion Alsacienne! It pairs especially well with a Kir Royale.

And I can NEVER pass up the candied strawberries at The Lotus House Booth!

The free Marketplace Discovery Passport will also return this year. In 2017, the Flower and Garden Festival follows the lead of the Epcot Food and Wine Festival by offering stickers to mark pages, rather than stamps.
