Festival Favorites and Fresh Inspiration
Launched in 2017, the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts has quickly become a seasonal staple. From eye-popping murals and interactive photo ops to culinary creations that double as art, the festival is a colorful canvas of fun.
Disney on Broadway Concert Series Returns
The fan-favorite DISNEY ON BROADWAY Concert Series will once again light up the America Gardens Theatre in the American Adventure pavilion. Every two weeks, a new duo of Broadway stars takes the stage, performing beloved Disney hits from shows they've starred in.
Concerts take place multiple times daily and are included with EPCOT admission. Seating is first-come, first-served, but dining packages—which offer reserved seating and a delicious meal at select EPCOT restaurants—will be available soon.
Over 20 Food Studios to Explore
Get ready to feast your eyes and your appetite with more than 20 Food Studios scattered throughout EPCOT. Known for artfully plated bites that taste as good as they look, each studio will showcase culinary creativity at its finest. Stay tuned for the full 2026 Foodie Guide, coming soon.
Figment’s Brush with the Masters Scavenger Hunt
Everyone’s favorite purple dragon returns in Figment’s Brush with the Masters, a whimsical scavenger hunt through World Showcase. Guests can purchase a map and sticker set at select locations, then search for hidden Figments peeking out from reimagined masterpieces in each pavilion.
Complete the hunt to receive a special keepsake—perfect for little artists and playful explorers alike.
