We may be in the midst of the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival and still have the Festival of the Holidays to look forward to next month, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get excited about ANOTHER EPCOT festival!
EPCOT Festival of the Arts
That’s right, the EPCOT Festival of the Arts is coming up in early 2025, we just didn’t know when — until now. Disney just announced the dates for this festival and we’re sharing all the details.
The EPCOT Festival of the Arts is returning on January 17th, 2025! This festival will run until February 24th, which means we’ve got just over one short month to take in all the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes this event has to offer.

Disney hasn’t shared many details about the 2025 Festival of the Arts just yet, but we’re expecting tasty food booths, incredible art on display, fun concerts, and all the souvenirs we could probably ever want.
Festival of the Arts 2023
We expect that the Disney on Broadway concert series will be back, where stars perform some of the classic songs from beloved shows in the America Gardens Theater. And, throughout the Festival, you’ll be able to hear musical performances daily in World Showcase Plaza, see acrobatic performances each day, and even witness art performances where you’ll see artists paint Disney characters in minutes!
Performers
We hope the paint-by-numbers mural tradition returns, along with all the incredible chalk art along World Showcase Plaza. While we don’t have many details for now, we can’t wait to experience the EPCOT Festival of the Arts again!

They probably should have started it a few days earlier to get the kinks worked out. Starting it on a holiday weekend that is going to be unbelievably crowded. Interesting strategy Cotton, let’s see if it pays off.
The major thing we’ll miss this time in entertainment is Dominic Gaudious and his Didgeridoo. May he rest in peace.
Unfortunately we figured it would start the week before the holiday and made our reservations as if it were starting on January 10 as it is it is now beginning the day after we leave. I wish they had set the dates earlier so we could go. Lately Disney is announcing dates way to late. We still don’t know when or if the Skyliner will be closed for refurbishment in January, which is ridiculous since by now almost everyone has made their plans for January and most cannot be changed.
I agree with a prior comment, Disney is announcing dates way to late, people have to book air and hotels…When are we gonna have information on Flower & Garden, hmmmmmm
