Festival of the Arts has begun in EPCOT, and that means there are tons of new treats and snacks to try around the festival booths, so much entertainment to marvel at, and, of course, new decor all around the park.

Festival of the Arts

One of the best photo ops is at the front of the park, but did you know there’s a secret spot to check out decor in World Showcase? It’s tucked away in the Germany Pavilion, and you’ll have to look really closely, but it’s there!

We’re not the only ones celebrating EPCOT’s International Festival of the Arts. There’s another town celebrating with us — a TINY town.

Over in Tiny Train Town, which is what we call the small village in the Germany Pavilion, if you look extra closely, you’ll find that the residents have put up their own Festival of the Arts flags and decor!

You can see that the residents of Tiny Train Town have thrown up their own banners for the Festival of the Arts! Isn’t it just so cute how tiny the banners are!?

Do you think they have food booths?

We’re wondering if they have tiny food booths for them to try different foods. Yes, there are obviously no food booths, but let us imagine it ok!

We want to join them!

We often find that the residents of this town decorate the town for each EPCOT festival, so if you happen to be visiting during one, look closely!

It’s so cute!

EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts began on January 16th and will continue through February 23rd. We’ve already gotten to dive into all the art, snacks, entertainment, events, and more — and we’ll be doing it a lot more. There are new experiences at the festival this year, like the Disney on Broadway exhibit and the Lorcana card search!
