We’re still in the middle of the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, but we’re already thinking about our plans for the Festival of the Arts in 2022!
A while back, Disney announced that the Festival of the Arts will run from January 14th-February 21st, 2022, and you know we’ll be there to experience all the excitement! Since then, Disney has revealed some of the offerings that are returning to the festival, and we’ve got the full list.
First, they announced that the Disney on Broadway Concert Series is coming back! This is a big update since the concert series was canceled for health and safety precautions last year. We also got a full list of performers and dates, plus the details on the return of the Disney on Broadway Concert Series Dining Packages.
But besides the concert series, you’ll still be able to enjoy your favorite food items and beverages (and some new ones!) from the Food Studios around the World Showcase.

And if you want to take your eating to the next level, try out The Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine, “a fun food stroll featuring five delicious sweet and savory treats.”
This year, the Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine will feature foods from around the World Showcase, each representative of a color of the rainbow. Here’s what you can expect to see on the list:
- Red: Blood Orange-braised Beet Carpaccio with Mustard Vinaigrette, Pickled Clamshell Mushrooms, Golden Beets and Crostini — Gourmet Landscapes

As far as activities go, you’ll find fun photo ops with classic pieces of famous artwork around the park. Here are all the places you can snap a creative photo:
- An homage to Frida Kahlo in the Mexico Pavilion

You’ll also find intricate chalk drawings on the walkways…just make sure to catch them before it rains! The popular paint-by-number mural will also be available once again, as well as Figment’s Brush with the Masters Scavenger Hunt. With this hunt, you’ll purchase a map from Port of Entry, Creations Shop, or World Traveler for $9.99 and search for Figment hiding in paintings around the park! Once you find them all, you’ll get a prize.
All around the World Showcase, make sure to look out for chalk drawings of Disney characters, including fan favorites like Abu and Jiminy Cricket. And the Animation Academy is coming back to the America Gardens Theater, with daily shows at 12:30PM and 1:30PM.
As usual, you’ll find performance and visual artists stationed throughout the festival sharing their talents, and there will be plenty of festival-themed merchandise to shop. We can’t wait to check it out!
