Get ready to FEAST, because the 2023 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is gearing up for its triumphant return!
Each summer, we look forward to tasting our way around the world at the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. This year’s event is scheduled to run from July 27th to November 18th, and we can’t wait to try out everything the festival has to offer!
Want a sneak peek at what you can expect to see at the 2023 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival? Here’s a list of everything that’s confirmed to be returning this year!
Food Booths
Of course, it wouldn’t be the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival without the FOOD! Disney has shared that this year’s festival will feature more than 25 Global Marketplaces (a.k.a. food booths) throughout the park.
Disney has not released the full list of Global Marketplaces for the 2023 festival, but The Fry Basket, Flavors From Fire, Candana, India, and Spain are all returning this year.
There will also be a few NEW food booths opening later in the festival, as summer turns into fall.

Eat to the Beat Concert Series & Dining Packages
The Eat to the Beat Concert Series will also be BACK in 2023! These music events feature “internationally recognized artists as well as local bands” that perform on the America Gardens Theatre stage.
The concert series features artists from a variety of genres, so there’s a musical act for just about everyone included in the lineup.
Disney has yet to confirm the full lineup, but we’ll be sure to let you know as soon as it is released!

Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak
Good news for those of you who love to explore the park through the EPCOT Festival scavenger hunts — Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak (the Food & Wine scavenger hunt) will be returning this year as well!
Maps for this year’s scavenger hunt can be purchased at select merchandise locations throughout the park. Once you’ve got your map in hand, it’s time to make your way around the World Showcase to complete the map!
Completed maps can be returned to select locations so you can claim your special prize!
We’ll keep our eyes peeled for more information about this experience.

Emile’s Fromage Montage
If you love cheese as much as we do, you’ve gotta check out the return of Emile’s Fromage Montage. To take part in this challenge, you’ll need to purchase any 5 of the featured dishes from select food booths as listed in the Festival Passport. When you purchase a qualifying dish, be sure to grab a stamp!
Once guests get all 5 stamps, they can get a FREE “completer prize,” which was a strawberry cheesecake soft serve with a piece of cheesecake on top served in a souvenir cup at last year’s festival.
We can’t wait to see what the prize will be this year!

Festival Merch
Another EPCOT Festival staple is — of course — themed merchandise celebrating the event!
We already got a sneak peek at one of the new sweatshirts coming this year. “Wine you’re way around the world” in the new Spirit Jersey!
You’ll be able to take home official event merchandise including apparel, home decor, trading pins, and more.
