EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival Walt Disney World 30th anniversary Eat to the Beat Concert Series World Showcase

The 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival has officially commenced at Walt Disney World, running from August 27 through November 21. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the event, featuring thirty reimagined or returning legacy food items, such as the Dumplings Trio from the China marketplace.

In addition to the Global Marketplaces offering international cuisine, the festival includes the Eat to the Beat Concert Series. This musical lineup features various performers, including a Motown tribute show and the pop-rock band Hanson.

New festival-themed merchandise is also available, ranging from kitchen utensils and apparel to items inspired by Pixar’s Luca. While the festival brings increased crowds and activity to the park, some specific kiosks and food offerings will open on a staggered schedule throughout September and October.
