The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is returning in 2027, and Disney is giving the festival a little more time to take over the park. The festival will run from January 15 through March 1, 2027, making this the longest Festival of the Arts yet after being extended by an additional week!
Since debuting in 2017, the festival has become one of EPCOT’s most recognizable seasonal events, with a mix of visual art, live performances, food, and hands-on activities spread throughout the park.
Disney Lorcana Returns
Disney Lorcana will once again have a presence at the Festival of the Arts in 2027. Festival-exclusive offerings will include promotional items and gifts with purchase, along with returning experiences such as the Ink & Find Scavenger Hunt, Collection Quest, and Illumineer’s Lounge.
More details on the 2027 Disney Lorcana offerings are expected as the festival approaches.
Disney on Broadway Concert Series
The DISNEY ON BROADWAY Concert Series will return to the America Gardens Theatre during the festival. Broadway performers will take the stage throughout the event, with the performer lineup still to be announced.
The concerts are included with regular EPCOT admission, with seating available on a first-come, first-served basis. Dining packages will also return, offering a guaranteed seat along with a meal at select EPCOT restaurants. Details on the 2027 dining packages and performer lineup will be released at a later date.
Food Studios Return
Food is once again a major part of the Festival of the Arts, with more than 20 Food Studios planned throughout EPCOT for the 2027 festival.
Disney has not yet released the full 2027 food lineup just yet, full menus should be announced closer to the event.
Art and Interactive Experiences
The Festival of the Arts will also bring back several of its familiar hands-on and art-focused activities, including Expression Section: A Paint by Number Mural, Animation Academy, Artful Photo Ops, Chalk Art Galleries, and live demonstrations from visiting artists.
Disney has not yet released the complete list of participating artists, including their dates and locations around EPCOT.
With the 2027 festival now stretching from January 15 through March 1, we have more time than ever to check out the art, food, entertainment, and interactive experiences throughout EPCOT! Will you be there?
