EPCOT Festival of the Arts 2027: A Colorful Calendar Cue
EPCOT is putting 2027 on the easel. The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, presented by Disney Lorcana Trading Card Game, returns January 15 through March 1 with a park full of edible masterpieces, live performances and art that refuses to stay politely on the wall.
Since making its debut in 2017, this seasonal celebration has turned EPCOT into a lively gallery of visual, culinary and performing arts. Expect the familiar festival mix of interactive photo opportunities, paint-by-numbers murals, Disney artwork and plenty of creative corners worth lingering in.
A Festival Season Worth Framing
The 2027 festival runs for more than six weeks, giving art lovers, food fans and Broadway devotees plenty of time to make a colorful detour through EPCOT. Creative favorites returning to the festival include Animation Academy, Expression Section: A Paint by Number Mural, Artful Photo Ops and exclusive festival merchandise.
Artists will also be busy making their mark around the park. Chalk Art Galleries, speedy Disney character paintings and live music are all part of the festival’s artistic lineup. Visiting artist names, dates and locations will be available at DisneyWorld.com.
Disney Lorcana Deals a Fresh Hand
Illumineers, keep those cards at the ready: Disney Lorcana Trading Card Game returns to the festival with event-exclusive promotional items and gifts with purchase. The festival’s returning card-game experiences include the Ink & Find Scavenger Hunt, Collection Quest and Illumineer’s Lounge.
Broadway Takes the America Gardens Stage
The DISNEY ON BROADWAY Concert Series will once again fill the America Gardens Theatre in The American Adventure pavilion with songs that have made the leap from Broadway stages to Disney fan playlists. Musical stars perform the songs they helped bring to life on Broadway, alongside other showstopping favorites.
A new pair of performers steps into the spotlight every two weeks, so the concert lineup changes as the festival rolls along. Disney will announce the full performer schedule at a later date.
Concerts take place several times nightly and are included with EPCOT park admission. Seating is first-come, first-served, while dining packages with guaranteed concert seating will go on sale at a later date. Those packages pair a meal at select EPCOT restaurants with the show—because a well-timed dinner reservation can be a beautiful thing.
More Than 20 Ways to Eat the Exhibit
The Food Studios are returning with over 20 locations throughout EPCOT. Each studio puts the festival’s culinary-art theme to work through inventive dishes and carefully composed presentations, proving that sometimes the most practical art form arrives on a plate.
Save the Date, Then Bring the Color
From hands-on art activities and Disney Lorcana quests to Broadway vocals and food with gallery-worthy presentation, the 2027 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts gives EPCOT a particularly vibrant start to the year. Mark January 15 through March 1 on the calendar; this one has a lot more going on than a standard trip to the museum.
