The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival will run from August 28 to November 22, 2025. That means in 2025 the Festival will run for a full 90 days. Favorite activities like Emile’s Fromage Montage will return this year, and the Foodie within will be happy to know that this year’s Festival will feature 35 global marketplaces!
Since its inception, the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival has evolved into one of the most highly anticipated events each year at Walt Disney World. It began as a 30-day global celebration of flavors and cultures and has grown to a 90-day festival spanning the summer and fall months, much to the delight of guests.
Here is a sneak peek at some returning activities and a few menu items to whet your appetite.

Play Remy’s Hide & Squeak Scavenger Hunt
Join Remy as he “hides” throughout World Showcase serving up another round of adventure. This scavenger hunt is perfect for little ones who are learning about different foods, and a festival must-do for adults is the challenge of finding Remy and scoring the hunt prize!
A map and stickers will be available for purchase at the park to keep track of your discoveries. As you explore the park, you’ll search for Remy in different World Showcase pavilions, where he has collected specific ingredients. Once you’ve found all of Remy’s hiding spots and completed the scavenger hunt, a special prize awaits.
Eat to the Beat Concert Series
The Eat to the Beat Concert Series, presented by Florida Blue, returns in 2025 to the American Adventure Pavilion. Live music combined with delicious cuisine joins together to form an unforgettable experience. This series showcases a diverse lineup of artists spanning various genres and eras, with something for all to enjoy. Taking place a few times daily, the concerts provide ample opportunities for guests to catch their favorite acts.
Admission to the concerts is included with EPCOT park entry, and seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. If guaranteed seating is what you’re seeking, then know that dining packages are offered, allowing guests to enjoy a meal at select EPCOT restaurants before the show.
Festival Concert Series Dining Package
The Festival Concert Series Dining Package combines a meal at one of EPCOT’s participating table-service restaurants with guaranteed seating at a concert in the America Gardens Theatre later that evening. Make your reservations through the My Disney Experience app or the official Walt Disney World Website.
What’s Included:
When you purchase the Festival Concert Series Dining Package, you can enjoy the following:
- Choose from breakfast, lunch, or dinner
- Appetizer, Entrée, and Dessert or a buffet
- Non-Alcoholic Beverage or an Alcoholic Beverage (for guests aged 21 and older)
Note: The specific offerings may vary by restaurant. For example, at Spice Road Table, the meal includes two small plates, a shared tagine, a shared dessert platter, and a beverage. Prices for the dining package vary by restaurant and mealtime.
Concert Seating
After your meal, you’ll receive a reserved seating badge for one of the Festival Concert Series performances that same day. The reserved seating is in the second section in the middle of the America Gardens Theatre. While seating is guaranteed, it’s on a first-come, first-served basis within that section, so arriving early is recommended for the best view.
Living with the Land Food & Wine Displays
EPCOT’s Living with the Land boat ride features an up-close look at innovative agricultural techniques and educates about sustainable food practices.
And for the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival each year, seasonal themed displays showcase ingredients along the journey and offer a deeper understanding of EPCOT’s focus on global cuisine and sustainability.
