EPCOT Festival of the Arts Sets 2027 Dates

Published September 10, 2026

Disney announced on Thursday, September 10, 2026, that the 2027 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts will run at EPCOT from January 15 through March 1, 2027. As of Thursday, September 10, Disney confirmed the festival will bring back the DISNEY ON BROADWAY Concert Series, Disney Lorcana offerings, interactive activities, performing artists, and 19 Food Studios.

The festival, presented by Disney Lorcana Trading Card Game, will again focus on visual, culinary, and performing arts around EPCOT. Disney said returning experiences include interactive photo opportunities, paint-by-numbers murals, artwork from Disney artists, Chalk Art Galleries, live character painting, and musicians around the park.

Disney Lorcana TCG will also return to the festival in 2027 with event-only offerings, including promo items and gifts with purchase. Disney also confirmed the return of the Ink & Find Scavenger Hunt, Collection Quest, and Illumineer’s Lounge.

The DISNEY ON BROADWAY Concert Series will return to America Gardens Theatre in the American Adventure pavilion. Disney said performances will take place several times each evening, admission is included with EPCOT park entry, and seating will be first-come, first-served unless guests purchase a dining package when those go on sale later.

• 2027 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts — runs January 15 through March 1, 2027, at EPCOT.

What’s not confirmed

Disney has not announced the full DISNEY ON BROADWAY performer lineup. Disney also has not confirmed when dining packages will go on sale, which EPCOT restaurants will participate, or the full 2027 Food Studio menus and prices.

What it means for your trip

If EPCOT is already on your winter Disney World plan, January 15 through March 1 is now the window to watch. Festival days can be excellent for adults and art-focused guests, but they can also slow down World Showcase movement if you are trying to tour quickly.

Do not build your whole EPCOT day around a specific Broadway performer yet; that lineup is still missing. The practical move is to hold your EPCOT park day, then adjust once Disney releases performer dates, dining package details, and menus.

If you care more about rides than festival booths, aim to handle your biggest EPCOT priorities earlier in the day before drifting into the art displays, Food Studios, and evening concerts. SupaPark’s crowd calendar can help you compare EPCOT dates once your trip window overlaps the festival.
