The 2025 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts begins January 17th, and Walt Disney World has confirmed the return of some festival favorite activities. Here’s a rundown!
Fun Activities During 2025 EPCOT Festival of the Arts
There are a number of free and paid activities that guests can participate in as part of the 2025 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. The 2025 version of the Festival runs from Jan. 17th through Feb. 24th.
Paint-by-Numbers Mural
Leave your creative mark on a larger-than-life mural. Pick up paint, a brush and an assigned number from the Expression Section booth. Then, paint a few squares of our massive mural that correspond with your paint color. Watch in awe as the wall fills with color—to eventually reveal a beautiful scene.
When & Where
The Expression Section booth is open from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily. It’s located on the walkway between World Showcase and the Imagination! Pavilion.
Scavenger Hunt: Figment’s Brush with the Masters
Help Figment learn about art on this scavenger hunt around World Showcase.
To get started, purchase your map and stickers (available while supplies last) for $9.99 plus tax at one of the following stores:
- Creations Shop
- Port of Entry
- World Traveler
Then, search for Figment hiding inside art inspired by famous works at each World Showcase Pavilion—just look for the Figment-themed picture frame. Every time you find Figment, add the corresponding sticker to the Pavilion on your map.
When your journey is complete, return your map to Disney Traders, Creations Shop or World Traveler by February 24, 2025, and receive a little keepsake!
