Mark your calendars and ready those appetites… EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is set to run from August 27 through November 21, 2026.
This festival has been around since 1996, and it’s still one of EPCOT’s biggest draws. Every year mixes returning favorites with new bites, so even longtime fans have something new to hunt down.
Global Marketplaces (+ Menu Sneak Peek)
EPCOT already delivers when it comes to food, but Food & Wine turns it up a notch with Global Marketplaces scattered all over the park.
We’re still waiting on the full 2026 lineup, but a few returning dishes have already been teased:
- Street corn-style chicken dumplings with tomatillo salsa verde and lime crema (Gyozas of the Galaxy)
- Grilled bushberry-spiced shrimp with sweet-and-sour veggies and coconut-chili sauce (Australia)
- Kirschwasser torte with cherry-brandy buttercream and cherry compote (The Alps)
Like past years, not every booth will open on day one, with some rolling out later in the season.
Emile’s Fromage Returns
Cheese fans! Emile’s Fromage Montage is returning once again. Pick up a festival passport, grab the featured cheese dishes at select booths, and collect stamps as you go. Finish the list, and you’ll score a little bonus treat at the end.
Remy’s Hide & Squeak Scavenger Hunt
Remy is back for another round of Hide & Squeak, and it’s a great add-on if you want something interactive between snack stops.
Inspired by Ratatouille, this scavenger hunt has you searching around World Showcase for Remy and the ingredients he’s collecting. Grab a map and stickers, track your progress, and if you find everything, you’ll walk away with a small prize.
Eat to the Beat Concert Series
Live music is a huge part of the festival, and the Eat to the Beat Concert Series is returning to the America Gardens Theatre inside EPCOT.
Shows typically run multiple times a day, so it’s pretty easy to fit one in between booth hopping. Concerts are included with park admission, with seating first-come, first-served. (If you’d like to lock in a guaranteed seat, dining packages will be announced closer to the festival.)
The artist lineup hasn’t dropped yet… we’ll just have to wait and see, along with the massive Foodie Guide that’s to come for the fest!
Do you plan your fall Disney World trip for Food & Wine or Mickey’s Not-So Scary Halloween Party… or both?
