EPCOT Festival of the Arts
EPCOT Festival of the Arts offers visual, performing, and culinary arts with a Disney twist. Guests can enjoy a variety of art forms and activities such as the larger-than-life Figment mural, meeting your favorite Disney artists, and cool Magic Shots.
The International Festival of the Arts starts today, January 16th, and runs through February 23, 2026. This is such a short festival, but one of our favorites.
This year, guests can enjoy 20 great Food Studios located throughout EPCOT. You can also grab a new Figment popcorn bucket. However, the biggest line for the start of the International Festival of the Arts is for the new Disney Lorcana Collection Quest.
