The Foodie’s Guide to the Festival of the Arts

As we begin a new year, that can only mean one thing…it’s time for the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts!! This fun-filled event will begin January 17 and run through February 24, 2025. Here you can experience the creative magic of the visual and musical arts through exhibits, hands-on activities, and artist’s booths galore. But let’s not forget that other artistic favorite, the culinary arts!! Just as with EPCOT’s other Festivals, the Festival of the Arts is a foodie’s delight. There will be nearly 20 Food Studios at this year’s event, and the culinary teams have rolled up their sleeves and masterfully put together some culinary creations that are as beautiful as they are delicious. Disney recently released the delicious lineup for this year’s Festival, so let’s take a look at the culinary delights that await you at this year’s Festival of the Arts!

Before we begin, don’t forget about the Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine! You can pick up a Festival Passport to guide you on your way. As you snack your way around EPCOT, you can collect stamps by purchasing five of the delicious offerings and redeem them for a special prize from Deco Delights. (We’ve marked the items that are part of this year’s food stroll with a 🎨.)

 

And just one more tidbit (for many, the most important of all!), the Figment Popcorn Bucket is back! This year you can pick up a new iteration of the Premium Popcorn Bucket with Rainbow Popcorn. In addition, you can find more Figment-inspired bites and sips at Figment’s Inspiration Station at the Odyssey.

OK, with that of the way, let’s begin our Foodie Tour of the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts!
