The 2027 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is being expanded. This next Festival of the Arts will run from January 15 through March 1, 2027. This festival celebrates visual, performing, and culinary arts. It also includes the DISNEY ON BROADWAY Concert Series! This year, the Festival of the Arts is being presented by Disney Lorcana Trading Card Game! Below is a look at the offerings that will be part of the next EPCOT International Festival of the Arts.
Disney Lorcana at EPCOT International Festival of the Arts
Once again this year, Disney Lorcana TCG will be returning to EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. Lorcana will be featured at the festival with exclusive offerings. These will include promo items and gifts with purchase available only at the event. The popular Ink & Find Scavenger Hunt, the Collection Quest, and Illumineers Lounge will also be available again this upcoming year at the festival.
Recently, at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, Daps Magic had a chance to chat with Greg from Disney Lorcana Trading Card Game about this trading card game, the excitement around it, and the community that has grown from it. This will continue to grow during the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. It really is an exciting thing!
DISNEY ON BROADWAY Concert Series
One of the highlights of the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts each year is the DISNEY ON BROADWAY Concert Series. This gives guests the chance to experience incredible performances by Broadway stars who bring the America Gardens Theatre to life each night during the festival at the American Adventure pavilion. These stars perform the iconic songs they sang on stage along with other favorite Disney show tunes.
During the festival, every two weeks a new pair of performers will take the spotlight. This creates an exciting dynamic and energy, with the new performances bringing fresh experiences to the festival. The full lineup of stars will be revealed on a date closer to the festival.
The concerts will be offered several times each evening. This provides the chance for fans to enjoy seeing their favorite performers bring Disney magic to life on stage. Admission to these concerts is included with EPCOT park entry. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. For those who want guaranteed seating, dining packages will be available at a later date. These allow guests to enjoy a meal at select EPCOT restaurants before guaranteeing a seat in a specific area of the theater.
Food Studios
Another highlight of the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is the Food Studios. They showcase culinary creativity at its finest. They blend the artistry of flavor with beautiful presentation.
For the 2027 festival, there will be 19 Food Studios found throughout EPCOT.
The Artists
At the heart of the Festival of the Arts are the artists who bring their art to display and to sell. During the festival, guests can also see artistry in action. There will be magical Chalk Art Galleries coming to life on sidewalks as guests watch. Artists will also paint Disney Characters in mere minutes. Talented musicians will perform and showcase their art with their harmonious sounds.
The specific lineup of artists’ names, dates, and locations will be revealed at a later date. They will be found on DisneyWorld.com, and Daps Magic will also share more about them.
A Beautiful Festival
The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is a beautiful festival with a multitude of different artistic offerings. This ranges from visual art to culinary art and everything in between. Guests can even participate in the artistic process and help bring murals together during the festival. This is a favorite festival of Daps Magic and one that is definitely worth checking out!
