With the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival ending next month and the 2020 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays starting soon after, we’ve got EPCOT fests on the brain.

2020 Epcot Festival of the Arts

Now, Disney World has announced the dates of the FIRST EPCOT festival in 2021! Get ready for the 2021 Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts!

Next year’s EPCOT International Festival of the arts will run from January 8th through February 22nd. It will be slightly modified due to the global health crisis, but many of our favorite experiences will be returning.

Festival of the Arts

The 2021 festival will include:

Over 15 Food Studios serving culinary art all around World Showcase
Opportunities to explore and purchase the brilliant and diverse work of Disney and other invited artists on display in marketplaces encircling World Showcase Lagoon
Special photo locations scattered around the park
A paint-by-number mural that serves as a collaborative art project for all
Visiting artists creating magic right before your eyes
Performances by favorite EPCOT musical artists Mariachi Cobre and the JAMMitors.
An artful scavenger hunt as you search for Figment around World Showcase
Festival-exclusive merchandise

Wow! That’s almost EVERYTHING we expect out of a typical Festival of the Arts experience. As of right now, the Disney on Broadway concert series hasn’t been announced and may not return in 2021 much like the 2020 Candlelight Processional. But we’re excited about allllll of the returning arts activities!
