EPCOT International Festival of the Arts dates announced for 2025

It's absolutely bonkers that we're nearly through spooky season and right around the corner from the holidays. With 2025 just a few months away, Disney has announced the dates of the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts for 2025.

EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is one of the shorter festivals at the theme park, running for just a couple of weeks. But it features all of the same fun, food and celebrations as the other festivals, such as Flower and Garden and Food & Wine.

The Festival of the Arts celebrates the creation of art and cuisine. It celebrates the creative side with creative twists on food and drinks, live music, and art performances.

"Delight your creative side! Discover vibrant artwork, dazzling entertainment, palate-pleasing cuisine and more—from January 17 to February 24, 2025."

As you can see, it's a very limited festival, running for just over a month. But if you're planning a vacation to Walt Disney World during this time, I highly suggest you check it out. It's included with the price of your EPCOT admission.

Like many EPCOT festivals, the food is one of the biggest draws. For this festival, the kiosks feature art-inspired cuisine. It's a lot of "deconstructed plates."

It's fun to look at, but you do have to be careful with the value. Some plates feel more about presentation and less about the actual food.

Disney hasn't yet detailed the kiosk menus for the 2025 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, but it should come soon.

In addition to the food, the arts include live performances. The Disney on Broadway Concert Series features songs from award-winning Disney on Broadway musicals. But you'll also hear lively musicla performances daily throughout the World Showcase Plaza.

Other experiences include performances dedicated to "incredible displays of strength, grace, acrobatics, and agility." You can also catch artists painting beautiful pictures of Disney characters, in just minutes. Depending on the time of day, you can see a whole lineup of gorgeous artwork on the pathways of EPCOT.

Of course, you can also expect the usual assortment of festival merchandise. There are also tons of booths dedicated to different art styles where you can actually purchase the individual pieces of art.

EPCOT Festival of the Arts isn't a huge festival but it definitely is growing in popularity. It's also one of the best times to go to the park because it's in January and February which are the two best months in terms of weather.
