EPCOT is certainly a fan-favorite Disney World park, and for good reasons.

EPCOT

You can be a “world traveler” around World Showcase, stopping at each of the 11 countries to experience their cultures through food, art, architecture, and more. You can also travel through space on Mission: SPACE or Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. Or experience both the Land and Sea at the pavilions. There’s a wide variety of things to do and learn at EPCOT. But soon, EPCOT will look totally different than it does right now!

One of our favorite things to do at EPCOT is participate in one of the four seasonal festivals that come to the park throughout the year. The EPCOT Festival of the Holidays just recently ended on December 30th, so the park is currently empty of food booths and exclusive entertainment.

EPCOT Festival of the Holidays

Briefly, there is a break between festivals for the time being, but that will be changing in 16 days. Starting on January 17th, the 2025 EPCOT Festival of the Arts will begin! Be prepared for the park to get a completely new look once again as the first 2025 festival begins.

2024 EPCOT Festival of the Arts

This festival will showcase art in all ways — paint, chalk, food, theater, and more! New food booths are coming to the festival, as well as new photo opportunities. You can try food at all the food studios, take in a Disney on Broadway concert at the American Adventure Pavilion, see live visual art performances, admire chalk art, meet artists, create your own animation, and participate in the scavenger hunt. Seriously, there’s a TON to do at this EPCOT festival.

Festival of the Arts 2024

As we get closer to the beginning of this festival, we’ll start to see food studios and other festival items popping up around EPCOT. We can’t wait to try out all the food and experience all the artful entertainment. The festival runs from January 17th through February 24th, so you’ll have a little over one month to check it out yourself.
