The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts debuted in 2017, making it one of EPCOT’s newest seasonal events. It has quickly become a guest favorite, filled with interactive photo ops, unique food creations, iconic paint-by-numbers murals, and artwork by Disney artists on display throughout the park. The festival also features the one-of-a-kind DISNEY ON BROADWAY Concert series.
In 2026, the Festival of the Arts will run from January 16 until February 23, so prepare to fuel up your creative side and spark a dose of inspiration and mark your calendar to celebrate new and returning experiences.
Experience Disney on Broadway at EPCOT
The Disney on Broadway Concert Series makes its return to the American Gardens Theatre in the American Adventure Pavilion. The theatre will spring to life with unforgettable performances. Musical stars will return to EPCOT to perform songs they helped bring to life on Broadway. Every two weeks, a new pair of performers takes the stage, making each visit a fresh experience. Stay tuned for the full lineup of stars to be revealed soon.
The concerts take place several times daily. Admission is included with EPCOT park entry, with seating available on a first-come, first-served basis. If you’re interested in guaranteed seating, dining packages will go on sale at a later date, allowing guests to enjoy a meal at select EPCOT restaurants before the show.
