Disney Treasure Ship Updates From the Preview Cruise!

The 29th Annual 2024 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival

Dates: August 29 to November 23, 2024


EPCOT FOOD AND WINE OVERVIEW

2024 is the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival's 29th year. While your EPCOT admission is all that's needed to participate in this popular event, it's important to know that guests must not only have valid theme park admission, but certain tickets may require a theme park reservation in order to enter the theme park.

The Eat to the Beat Concert Series presented by Florida Blue Medicare returns in 2024 with internationally recognized artists as well as local bands offering fun tunes on the America Gardens Theatre stage.

CommuniCore Hall is now open in the heart of World Celebration with plenty of Festival merchandise for sale plus tables and chairs in the air conditioning!

More than 25 Global Marketplaces featuring food, wine, and beer are at the Festival. The appetizer-sized portions typically range in price from $4.00 – $8.50 and provide the perfect opportunity to try traditional cuisine from around the world.

Additional tables are placed throughout the park where guests can stop and enjoy festival dishes.

The International Food and Wine Festival plays host to seminars, tasting events, and delicious meals overseen by top Disney Chefs as well as renowned guest Chefs.


EPCOT FOOD AND WINE HIGHLIGHTS
