EPCOT International Festival of the Arts
JANUARY 17 - FEBRUARY 24, 2025
The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts made its original debut back in January of 2017 and quickly become a fan favorite! This Festival features performing arts, culinary arts, visual arts, along with fun for all ages.
The magic behind every work of art is in its possibilities. When colors and shapes blend with instrumentation and the combination of ingredients—they all come together to create something truly unique. It’s why EPCOT is proud to celebrate the 2025 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts.
A walk around the world becomes a gallery for the imagination. Discover artwork from talented artists that speak to you at first glance. Whether it’s a gorgeous take on favorite Characters or an entirely original piece, you can take them from their gallery and add them to your collection at home. New art is created and revealed regularly throughout the entire Festival so guests can look forward to a new experience every time they visit.
You can even eat the art! Taste culinary masterpieces that are a work of art (not to mention mouthwatering). Plus, don’t miss sensational onstage performances at the DISNEY ON BROADWAY Concert Series with shows that will leave you on a high note.
Come explore and celebrate art in all its possibilities at the 2025 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, January 17 – February 24
