food IS a theme park
It’s finally time for one of our favorite EPCOT festivals of the year — the International Festival of the Arts!
2026 EPCOT Festival of the Arts
While most people think about the food studios and all their offerings at the festival, when it comes to entertainment, this festival often rises above the rest. Here’s a full overview of all the different entertainment you can experience at this year’s festival, so you don’t miss a thing!
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!
When we head into Disney World, we go in thinking that the longest line we’ll wait in that day is probably for one of the park’s most popular rides. That’s especially true in EPCOT, because multiple rides in the park can get some LONG lines.
Rope Drop Crowds
However, yesterday was opening day for one of EPCOT’s most POPULAR festivals, Festival of the Arts, and while we were expecting things to be crowded, we didn’t think they’d be THIS intense. If you’re heading to the festival opening weekend (especially since Monday is a holiday), you’ve gotta pack your patience when it comes to waiting in line for your food.
There are those of us out there who can paint, and then there are those of us out there who can’t draw a stick figure well (I’m the second one). However, no matter where your level of artistry falls, there’s one opportunity at EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts that EVERYONE can take part in to create something amazing!
Paint-By-Number Mural!
There’s so much wonderful artwork to look at throughout this whole festival, not to mention incredible live performances, but there’s also a piece of artwork YOU can join in on too — it’s the Paint-By-Numbers Mural!
It’s finally time for the 2026 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, and we are PUMPED. We’re hitting up all the Food Studios around the park to bring you a list of what you absolutely must try at this year’s festival!

However, one of our favorite things to do is the festival’s food crawl, the Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine. This is where you eat five of a selection of colorful food items, and when you’re done, you get a FREE prize. It’s like being rewarded…just for eating? How could we resist? So come with us as we go on a food walk around EPCOT.
