We can’t wait for the January in Disney World — wanna know why?
January 12th marks the first day of the 2024 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts! It’s one of our favorite festivals and we look forward to it every year. In addition to delicious eats, exciting entertainment, and exclusive merchandise, you can expect to see some seriously incredible art. One artist we look forward to seeing is coming back in 2024, and they’re bringing some new prints!
Mark your calendars, because artist Jerrod Maruyama will be visiting with guests at the EPCOT Festival of the Arts in 2024! Not only that, but he’s bringing some brand new art with him — like Lester the Possum seen below! We’re happy to see some representation for this underrated A Goofy Movie character.
Art is what makes this festival so unique and we love that you can actually meet some of the artists while you’re enjoying the rest of the offerings.
Jerrod Maruyama will be at the EPCOT Festival of the Arts between January 12th and 17th, so make sure you stop by and say hi if you’ll also be at the festival then!
We’ll be bringing you live coverage from the first day of the event, so stay tuned to DFB for more!
