EPCOT International Festival of the Arts

The concert series is the main draw. It is a concert of songs from Disney's Broadway musicals, such as Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King and Aladdin at America Gardens Theatre. Disney Tourist Blog reports three shows a day. Seating is included with EPCOT admission on a first-come, first-served basis.

A Disney on Broadway Dining Package pairs a meal with guaranteed concert seats. Disney had not released 2027 package details or prices when we checked. For comparison, the Candlelight Processional packages at the same theater cost $59 to $109 per adult for 2026 bookings made ahead.

The 2027 performer lineup has not been announced.

• Chalk art galleries and Visual Art in Performance, where an artist paints a Disney character in minutes.
• Expression Section, a giant paint-by-number mural that visitors fill in.
• Figment's Brush with the Masters, a scavenger hunt around World Showcase.
• Kids' Chalk Art and chalk drawings of Disney characters to find around World Showcase.
• Animation Academy drawing sessions and the Once Upon a Stage exhibit on Disney on Broadway.
• Disney Lorcana activities tied to the title sponsor, with details still to come.

Artists display work and meet visitors around the park. Disney says it will name 2027 artists later.

Festival food is served at Food Studios, kiosks with plated, artistic small dishes and drinks. Disney Tourist Blog counted 19 Food Studios in its 2027 preview. The Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine is a food stroll that links dishes around the park.

Disney has not published 2027 menus or prices. As a rough guide, tasting plates at EPCOT's autumn Food & Wine Festival cost about $4.79 to $10.49 in 2026; check the arts festival's own prices when menus appear in January.

Arts has fewer food kiosks than Food & Wine and leans harder on entertainment. If you are choosing one festival for an adult trip, it is the one that feels least like a queue for snacks. Families with young children may get more from Flower & Garden's character topiaries and bee-themed scavenger hunt. Daily music at CommuniCore Plaza and artistic photo backdrops round out the day.

Mid-January to late February is one of the more comfortable times to walk World Showcase: cool mornings and no summer storms. Weekdays outside the Presidents' Day weekend (February 13 to 15, 2027) are the calmer choice.

Note the gap between festivals. Arts ends on March 1, 2027, and the Flower & Garden Festival does not open until March 10. From March 2 to 9, EPCOT runs without a festival. More on timing in best time to visit Orlando.
