Can you believe it? We’re only a few months away from the start of the 2024 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival!
2023 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
In case you missed it, the festival will begin on August 29th and conclude on November 23rd. We couldn’t be more excited for all the food booths, the music, all the merch, and so much more! But looking back at those dates really has us scratching our heads and wondering. Is Disney trying to prepare the way for a new festival coming to EPCOT? Let’s sleuth this out together!
All right, listen up. Here’s the scoop: We’ve seen some pretty interesting moves from Disney happening lately when it comes to the festival dates at EPCOT.
It’s festival time!
We’ve seen them bounce back to basically their pre-COVID schedules, which creates quite a noticeable gap — a “summer void” — between the conclusion of the Flower and Garden Festival in May and the Food and Wine Festival in August.
Welcome to the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival!
Now that’s got us thinking. Could this be the perfect opportunity for Disney to introduce a brand new fifth EPCOT festival to fill the new Summer void?
If the current schedule is any indication, there is a clear window for a new summer event. In recent years, the overlapping festivals ensured that there was always some festival being celebrated at EPCOT, so this year’s gap definitely presents a unique opportunity for Disney to introduce a new festival.

This doesn’t even mention the fact that Disneyland already added a summer festival of its own, which may or may not indicate that Disney World could do the same.

REMINDER: Disney’s Newest Festival Starts In One Week!
Now, don’t get me wrong. EPCOT already has four pretty awesome festivals, but who says we can’t have some more fun during summer with a new festival, right? Obviously, this is all just speculation for now, but the possibility of a 5th festival is undeniably exciting. Until we know more, we’ve still got PLENTY to be stoked about with the 2024 Food and Wine Festival approaching fast.
