Festival Dates and Run Length
EPCOT’s International Festival of the Arts made its debut in 2017, making it one of the park’s newest seasonal celebrations. It’s built around the blending of visual, performing, and culinary arts. Guests can expect interactive photo ops, unique food creations, and iconic paint-by-numbers murals. Disney artists display their work throughout the park for the duration of the event.
For 2027, the festival runs January 15th through March 1st, a 46-day stretch. That’s a jump from the 2026 festival, which ran 39 days from January 16th until February 23rd, as we reported when Disney first announced those dates. More time with one of the best festivals of the year is certainly a welcome change this year!
Disney Lorcana Named Presenting Sponsor
The 2027 festival carries the full title of the “EPCOT International Festival of the Arts presented by Disney Lorcana Trading Card Game.” That’s a new distinction for 2027. Disney Lorcana debuted as a festival activity in 2026, but it wasn’t the named presenting sponsor that year. Fan-favorite Lorcana experiences return in 2027 too, including the Ink and Find Scavenger Hunt, the Collection Quest, and the Illumineer’s Lounge.
Those three activities anchored the Lorcana presence at the 2026 festival, when Disney first detailed the Illumineer’s Lounge, scavenger hunt, and related offerings ahead of that event’s opening. More details on specific card sets, promo items, and lounge locations will be announced later.
Disney on Broadway Concert Series
The Disney on Broadway Concert Series returns to the America Gardens Theatre in the American Adventure pavilion for 2027. Broadway performers who helped originate songs on stage will take the spotlight. A new pair of performers rotates in every two weeks throughout the run.
No word yet on which performers are joining the 2027 lineup. Concerts happen several times each evening, and seating is first come, first served with park admission. Dining packages that guarantee seating go on sale later, following the same pattern as past years of the concert series.
Food Studios and What’s Still Unconfirmed
The 2027 festival will include more than 20 Food Studios throughout the park, continuing the event’s blend of culinary presentation and visual art. Disney hasn’t announced specific kiosk names, menu items, or pricing yet. Official artist details, including names, dates, and locations, will be announced once Disney finalizes them.
