Disney has revealed new details for the 2027 EPCOT Festival of the Arts, including more than 20 Food Studios, returning interactive experiences, and exclusive Disney Lorcana offerings.

We may still be in the midst of the 2026 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival (with the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays still to come), but Disney is already preparing us for the first festival of 2027! Each year, EPCOT’s festival season begins with the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, a celebration of visual, performing, and culinary arts.

The festival first debuted in 2017, making it one of EPCOT’s newest seasonal celebrations. Since then, it has become a favorite for its creative dishes, interactive photo opportunities, artwork from Disney artists, live entertainment, and hands-on activities.

EPCOT Festival of the Arts 2027 Dates

The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts will take place from January 15 through March 1, 2027. Guests can look forward to returning favorites such as Animation Academy, Artful Photo Ops, the Expression Section: A Paint by Number Mural, festival-exclusive merchandise, and live demonstrations throughout the park.

Artists will create Disney characters in real time, while musicians and chalk artists bring additional forms of art to EPCOT. Disney will share the schedules, locations, and names of visiting artists closer to the festival.

Disney Lorcana Returns to Festival of the Arts

Disney Lorcana TCG will return to the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts in 2027 with exclusive festival offerings. Guests can find promotional items and gifts with purchase that will only be available during the event.

Several interactive experiences will also return, including the Ink & Find Scavenger Hunt, Collection Quest, and Illumineer’s Lounge.

More Than 20 Food Studios

The festival’s Food Studios blend artistic presentation with creative flavors, turning each dish into a miniature work of art. For 2027, guests can explore more than 20 Food Studios located throughout EPCOT.

Disney has not yet released the complete menus or booth lineup, but additional food and beverage details are expected closer to the festival.

DISNEY ON BROADWAY Concert Series

The DISNEY ON BROADWAY Concert Series will once again bring Broadway performers to the America Gardens Theatre in the American Adventure pavilion. The artists perform songs they helped bring to life onstage, along with other Disney Broadway favorites.

A new pair of performers will take the spotlight every two weeks, giving guests different performances to experience throughout the festival. Disney will reveal the complete 2027 artist lineup at a later date.

The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts returns to Walt Disney World on January 15, 2027, and runs through March 1.
