Send us a text

The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival first began in 1996. At the time, it was a modest event—just a 30-day celebration held in the fall. But even then, it was clear that Disney had tapped into something special. The festival was designed to enhance the park's World Showcase by offering guests the chance to sample global cuisines and fine wines, bringing a whole new layer of cultural immersion to the EPCOT experience.

What started with just 25 global marketplaces scattered around World Showcase Lagoon has now grown into a massive event that stretches over several months, featuring over 30 marketplaces, celebrity chefs, cooking demonstrations, and even live entertainment. The festival has truly become a staple of EPCOT, attracting foodies from all over the world.

Now, let’s talk about what’s in store for 2024. This year's festival will kick off on August 29th, and run through November 23rd.  As always, guests can expect an incredible lineup of global marketplaces, offering small plates and beverages inspired by cuisines from around the world. So grab your favorite park snack, settle in, and let’s get started!
