Foodies and Disney fans, it’s time to start planning. The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is officially returning for 2026, and this year’s dates give us plenty of time to enjoy it all.
According to the Disney Parks Blog, the festival will run from August 27 through November 21, 2026. That’s nearly three full months to snack, sip, and stroll your way around EPCOT.

As always, the Global Marketplaces will be the heart of the festival. These food booths bring flavors from around the world together in one place. You can expect a mix of returning fan-favorite dishes and new creations to try. Whether you love savory bites or sweet treats, there is always something worth discovering. Many guests even plan multiple visits just to try everything.
The Eat to the Beat Concert Series will also return to the America Gardens Theatre. This popular offering brings a rotating lineup of live performers throughout the festival. In past years, we’ve seen everything from classic bands to pop favorites. It adds a fun, energetic vibe to an already lively event. Be sure to keep an eye out for the 2026 lineup announcement.
Beyond the food and music, the festival is known for interactive experiences that make it fun for all ages. Activities like Emile’s Fromage Montage and Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak give guests another way to explore the park. These experiences are especially great if you’re visiting with kids or looking to break up your tasting schedule.
Of course, one of the best parts of the festival is simply taking your time around World Showcase. Each pavilion feels even more vibrant during Food & Wine. It’s the perfect setting to try new dishes, enjoy a drink, and soak in the atmosphere.
While we are still waiting on full menus, booth lists, and merchandise reveals, this early announcement is more than enough to get excited. If you’re local, this is one of the best festivals to visit again and again. If you’re planning a trip, these dates are definitely worth keeping in mind.
Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to opening day. We will be watching for menu reveals, must-have merchandise, and all the details you need to plan the perfect Food & Wine Festival visit.
