Disney announced the 2027 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts will run 46 days, returning with the Disney on Broadway Concert Series, more than 20 Food Studios, and Disney Lorcana as presenting sponsor.
The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts returns January 15 through March 1, 2027. Disney announced that the Disney Lorcana Trading Card Game is returning as presenting sponsor.
Festival of the Arts debuted in 2017 and focuses on visual art, performing art, and food.
The park fills with artist galleries, chalk art, speed painters producing Disney characters in minutes, roaming musicians, and interactive photo installations. Returning favorites include Animation Academy, the Expression Section paint-by-number mural, and the artful photo ops.
Disney on Broadway
The Disney on Broadway Concert Series will return to the America Gardens Theatre in the American Adventure pavilion.
Concerts run several times each evening. Admission is included with EPCOT park entry, with seating first-come, first-served.
Dining packages will return
Dining packages offering guaranteed seating will go on sale at a later date, and Disney has not announced the performer lineup yet.
Lorcana is back as presenting sponsor
The trading card game returns with festival-exclusive offerings.
Disney confirmed promo items and gifts with purchase available only at the event, alongside returning experiences including the Ink & Find Scavenger Hunt, the Collection Quest, and the Illumineer’s Lounge.
More than 20 Food Studios
Disney confirmed over 20 Food Studios will once again appear across the park in 2027.
Specific studios, menus, and pricing have not been released.
Could we see Dreamfinder?
Figment has anchored Festival of the Arts since its first season in 2017 as the festival’s unofficial mascot.
Since Disney announced that Dreamfinder is returning to EPCOT at D23, could we see him return for the Festival of the Arts?
Disney has not said.
Anything can happen.
Festival of the Arts is included with regular EPCOT admission, so no separate ticket is required to attend, though individual food items, merchandise, and dining packages do cost extra.
