EPCOT Festivals Will Look Totally Different Next Year

One of the coolest things about EPCOT is that it is quite literally always changing. 

EPCOT

Each season brings in a new festival, which allows guests to indulge in a whole new assortment of food, drinks, and even activities. Currently, the festivals are spread out throughout the whole park, focusing on the 11 countries that make up World Showcase. However, that will all change soon. Let’s talk about it!

EPCOT has been undergoing a lengthy refurbishment, causing construction walls to be placed throughout the park in such a way that may Disney fans jokingly call the park “Wallcot.” This transformation will completely change the way we do festivals at EPCOT!

Included in the transformation is a designated festival area, which will include CommuniCore Hall and CommuniCore Plaza. These locations will serve as a sort of “home base” for festivals — which is pretty awesome.

CommuniCore Plaza will provide an outdoor space for visitors to experience all the festivals have to offer, from live music to festival booths. Disney said that we can definitely expect stage areas to host large-scale concerts and even intimate performances. This will probably save a lot of folks a trek throughout World Showcase as they try to check out all the live music throughout the festivals!

CommuniCore Hall will be located within the Plaza, but will be an indoor area where chefs can host demonstrations, artists can showcase art, and there will even be places for live music. This is the FIRST permanent structure built in EPCOT that’s sole purpose will be to house festival happenings.

CommuniCore Hall and Plaza are set to open in late 2023, so it’s safe to say that festivals will look a LOT different in 2024. We can’t wait to have all the big festival events in one, convenient location.
