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.

Experience Disney on Broadway at EPCOT

During the Disney on Broadway Concert Series, the America Gardens Theatre in the American Adventure pavilion comes alive with unforgettable performances. Musical stars return to EPCOT to perform the iconic songs they helped bring to life on Broadway stages alongside other show-stopping favorites.

Every two weeks, a new pair of performers takes the spotlight, making each visit to the festival a fresh experience. Stay tuned for the full lineup of stars, which will be revealed soon.

The concerts take place several times a day, giving you ample opportunities to enjoy your favorite performances. Admission is included with EPCOT park entry, with seating available on a first-come, first-served basis. For those seeking guaranteed seating, dining packages will go on sale at a later date, allowing guests to enjoy a meal at select EPCOT restaurants before the show.

Food Studios

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.
