Walt Disney World has announced that a stripped down version of their newest EPCOT festival, the International Festival of the Arts, is coming to EPCOT in January.
Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts will run from January 8 through February 22, 2021.
Disney made the announcement on the Disney Parks Blog…
The Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts offers fun for the whole family. Here is just a sketch of what you can expect when the event debuts in January:
- Indulge in over 15 Food Studios serving culinary art all around World Showcase
- Explore and purchase the brilliant and diverse work of Disney and other invited artists on display in marketplaces encircling World Showcase Lagoon
- Step into the scene at special photo locations scattered around the park
- Participate in a paint-by-number mural that serves as a collaborative art project for all
- Watch as visiting artists create magic right before your eyes
- Catch performances by favorite EPCOT musical artists Mariachi Cobre and the JAMMitors.
- Join an artful scavenger hunt as you search for Figment around World Showcase
- Shop for festival-exclusive merchandise
This is the latest “taste of” festival event coming to EPCOT. They’re effectively stripped down versions of EPCOT’s regular festivals to compensate for social distancing protocols, and likely a greatly reduced staff.
Before the Festival of the Arts, the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays begins on November 27, 2020, albeit without the beloved Candlelight Processional.
