We might be having some holly jolly fun at EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t look forward to some fun that’s just around the corner.

One of our FAVORITE festivals, EPCOT’s International Festival of the Arts, will kick off on January 12th, 2024, and will conclude on February 19th, 2024. This is one of the SHORTEST festivals of the year, so — what all can you expect to do in that short amount of time?

Here is EVERYTHING that has been confirmed for the 2024 Festival of the Arts so far!

Disney on Broadway

Each night, you can watch Disney on Broadway stars perform some of the classic songs from beloved shows. These will take place at the America Gardens Theater at 5:30 PM, 6:45PM, and 8PM. Dining Packages will be available, too!

You can go ahead and take a look at the schedule to plan your visit!

FOOOOOOOD!

So far, we’ve only gotten a glimpse of the 16 booths that will be available at the 2024 Festival.

As soon as we know menus, we’ll let you know! This is probably what we’re most excited for, of course. Oh, and did we mention that The Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine, a colorful food scavenger hunt, will RETURN?!

Expression Section: A Paint By Numbers Mural

This is a fan-favorite experience for many festival-goers! Each day from 11AM to 5PM, you’ll be able to pick up paint, a brush, and your assigned number. You’ll then be able to paint a few squares of the massive mural that correspond with your paint color.

By the end of the festival, the mural will be complete, and it is so COOL to see it all come together.

Chalk Art

Throughout the festival, there will be stations set up where kiddos can create their own chalk art! Plus, there will be artists chalking Disney characters throughout the parks.

There will also be chalk drawings of beloved Disney characters throughout the park, which you can search for and receive a PRIZE after completing the map! Yep, Figment’s Brush with the Masters is back, yet again. 

Photo Ops

Those cool photo ops that allow you to step INTO paintings will also be coming back to the festival this year, but there will be some NEW photo ops inspired by Wish and Sleeping Beauty.
