2026 EPCOT Festival of the Arts Dates
The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts made its debut in 2017, making it one of EPCOT’s newest seasonal celebrations. Known for blending visual, performing, and culinary arts, it has quickly become a guest favorite filled with interactive photo ops, unique food creations, iconic paint-by-numbers murals, and artwork by Disney artists displayed throughout the park, plus the one-of-a-kind DISNEY ON BROADWAY Concert Series. This year, you can once again let your creativity run wild from January 16 until February 23.
Each year, the Food Studios at the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts showcase culinary creativity at its finest, blending the artistry of flavor with picture-perfect presentation. For the 2026 edition, guests can look forward to savoring over 20 Food Studios located throughout the park.
Figment is back and hiding inside famous works of art around World Showcase!
