As we head into fall, the Disney parks are ready to celebrate, and for EPCOT, that means new festivals. Disney has just announced the dates for the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts for 2024!
EPCOT celebrates four featured festivals throughout the year: EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival, EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, and EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival.
Each festival features unique dining, entertainment, and merchandise, all offered only during that festival’s time in EPCOT. While the festivals are celebrated throughout the parks, the booths and entertainment are predominately featured throughout the World Showcase. EPCOT’s World Showcase is home to 11 pavilions, each representing a country: Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, Italy, The American Adventure, Japan, Morocco, France, the United Kingdom, and Canada.
As we head toward the new year, excitement is building around EPCOT’s festival lineup for 2024. The dates were recently released for EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays, beginning on November 24, 2023 ,and continuing through December 30, 2023. This year’s festival will feature the annual Candlelight Processional with celebrity storytellers, Candlelight Processional Dining Packages, and Holiday Kitchens found throughout EPCOT’s World Showcase and World Discovery.
Following the International Festival of the Holidays, Disney just announced that EPCOT’s International Festival of the Arts will begin on January 12, 2024. The festival will continue through February 19, 2024. Though Disney has not released all the festival’s details yet, we know that the Food Studios will be returning along with the Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine. We are excited for more details on specific booths and menus to be shared soon!
In addition to colorful eats and treats, the DISNEY ON BROADWAY Concert Series will return to this year’s festival! Guests will be able to enjoy shows featuring their favorite songs from DISNEY ON BROADWAY shows in EPCOT’s World Showcase. The series is presented by AT&T and will be hosted once again in the America Gardens Theatre located in The American Adventure pavilion.
This year, guests can enjoy the DISNEY ON BROADWAY Concert Series in a new way with a Dining Package. The DISNEY ON BROADWAY Dining Packages will include a dinner at your choice from select EPCOT restaurants and reserved seating in the America Gardens Theatre, where you will enjoy the show. Disney will release more details about the select restaurants and reservation dates soon.
This year’s EPCOT International Festival of the Arts will also feature live musical performances, Art Defying Gravity performances, and visual art performances throughout World Showcase. Watch in amazement as visual and performing arts come to life all around you throughout the park.
