Can you believe we’re pretty much halfway through 2026 already?! Time has been flying, and some BIG things are happening at Disney World in July!
This year has been rough with goodbyes, as we’ve started to say “farewell” to DinoLand, U.S.A. in Disney’s Animal Kingdom and now Muppets Courtyard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. HOWEVER, it’s almost time to say “hello” to some new and returning offerings, such as the 2025 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival!
July could give us some serious Food and Wine Festival news! This year’s festival will be held at EPCOT from August 28th through November 22nd, 2025 — and we’re hoping to get some pretty big news bombs next month.
we got the Eat to the Beat concert lineup, and we wouldn’t be shocked to see history repeat itself.
The Eat to the Beat Concert Series presented by Florida Blue offers live musical performances from “renowned artists and fresh, local talent.” Last year’s lineup included the following performers:
- The Fray
- Sugar Ray
- Hoobastank
- Yellowcard
- Tiffany
- MercyMe
- Sheila E.
- Luis Figueroa
- Mau Y Ricky
- Jesse & Joy
- Aloe Blacc
- Joey Fatone & Friends
- We The Kings
- Switchfoot
- David Archuleta
- Billy Ocean
- Hanson
- Haley Reinhart featuring Maddie Poppe, Justin Lee Schultz & Casey Abrams
- Boyz II Men
- Magic!
- Parmalee
- Smash Mouth
- 98 Degrees
There were plenty of big names performing, and we can’t wait to see this year’s lineup!
You could also start booking Eat to the Beat Dining Packages early last July, as well. This dining package includes a delicious meal in addition to guaranteed seats to an Eat to the Beat concert on the same day.
With Food & Wine Festival news hopefully picking up in July, maybe we’ll also get some food booth announcements to boot! Food booths — also known as Global Marketplaces — will feature food and beverages from an array of six different continents in a culinary adventure that encapsulates the shared community that comes with a global dining experience.
We CAN’T WAIT for the 2025 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival! We’ll be there firsthand, trying everything and reporting back to YOU, so stay tuned for all kinds of festival coverage. In the meantime, keep it posted right here at DFB for all the latest Food & Wine Festival updates!
