It’s finally time for the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts!

EPCOT Festival of the Arts

This artsy annual staple is back as of today, with delicious eats and enchanting art! Plus, there’s plenty of live entertainment to check out and we’re taking you on a tour!

One of the greatest things about EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts is that it celebrates art in ALL forms!

Obviously, culinary art is a HUGE deal, and we’ve been munching and sipping our way through the WHOLE ENTIRE FEST. But visual art and performing arts also get their time to shine, and we’re here for ALL of it!

From January 8th-February 22nd, live entertainment illuminates EPCOT with music, acrobatics, chalk drawings, and more!

Performing Arts

Voices of Liberty is BACK! We loved seeing the group perform during the holidays, and this year they’ll be singing together at America Gardens Theatre with a set called “The Disney Songbook,” putting their stamp on some of the MOST iconic Disney songs!

Voices of Liberty

Their backdrop featured scenes from Moana while they crooned along to songs from the film.

In between performances at the America Gardens Theater, Disney character artists take the stage for Animation Academy! This interactive class gives guests the chance to follow along with a Disney artist and draw their own Disney character. Paper, pencil and clipboard are even provided!

Animation Academy

Classes take place two times a day at 12:30PM and 1:30PM and guests get to take their drawing home as a FREE souvenir from the festival!
