Choosing a favorite EPCOT festival can be like choosing a favorite child — at least for us!
2025 Festival of the Arts
We’re still celebrating the Food and Wine Festival, plus we have the Festival of the Holidays to look forward to before the year ends. While we aren’t trying to speed up time, we are ridiculously excited that Disney has finally confirmed the dates for the 2027 International Festival of the Arts!
Get ready to grab your paintbrushes and easels because it’s time for the Festival of the Arts! The artistic EPCOT festival will run from January 15th to March 1st! That’s about one week longer than last year’s festival.
Festival of the Arts!
Disney hasn’t shared many details about the 2026 Festival of the Arts just yet, but we’re expecting tasty food booths, incredible art on display, fun concerts, and all the souvenirs we could probably ever want. While it can be hard to choose our favorite festival, we won’t deny that this one has a special place in our hearts!

We’re excited for the return of the Disney on Broadway concert series, where stars perform some of the classic songs from beloved shows in the America Gardens Theater. We’re also anticipating that you’ll be able to hear musical performances daily in World Showcase Plaza, see acrobatic performances each day, and even witness art performances where you’ll see artists paint Disney characters in minutes!

The return of an activity designed for the whole family based on collecting the Disney Loracada Trading Card Game is another thing we’re excited about. There will be ways to showcase the beautiful artwork on each card, and Disney says this is “just a taste of what’s to come.”
We love the artwork on the cards!
