Disney has announced dates for the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival 2026. The very popular event will run from August 27 through November 21, 2026.
This popular event takes place at Walt Disney World’s EPCOT Park during regular hours. Any guest with a valid ticket to EPCOT Park gets entry to the event.
What is the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival?
EPCOT’s Food & Wine festival is an event that celebrates food and beverages from countries and cultures around the world. Multiple Global Marketplaces (outdoor kitchens) are available, featuring cuisine from numerous countries. Guests can purchase dishes based on locations all around the world–hence the title “International Food & Wine Festival.”
Other activities include:
Emile’s Fromage Montage
Visit select locations to try selected dishes and get stamps in your festival passport (available when you enter EPCOT). Once you collect enough stamps, you earn a special treat.
“This popular food stroll highlights cheese-inspired dishes available at select Global Marketplaces throughout EPCOT, where you can collect stamps in your festival passport for each eligible dish you try and earn a festival treat when you complete the mission.”
Remy’s Hide & Squeak Scavenger Hunt
This is an extra cost event where you find various Remy’s throughout the park, each holding a different ingredient. Once you find them all, you can collect a special keepsake.
“This interactive hunt is ideal for families and offers a fun way to discover different pavilions while keeping an eye out for Remy and the ingredients he is collecting. Purchase a themed map and stickers to track your progress, and if you’re able to spot Remy in every location, a special keepsake awaits.”
Eat to the Beat Concert Series
Various musical artists will be brought in to entertain guests at the America Gardens Theatre in the American Adventure Pavilion (located in the center of the World Showcase).
All guests can attend the concert. If you want guaranteed seating, you will need to purchase a concert series dining package to do so. This package includes a meal at select EPCOT restaurants and a seat for the concert.
More information, including Eat to the Beat performers and Global Marketplace menus, will become available at a later date.
Specialty Merchandise
Like all events at Disney Parks, there will be specialty merchandise as well!
