EPCOT's most popular annual celebration is nearly here. The 2026 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival opens on August 27 and runs through November 21, giving guests nearly three months to work their way around the World Showcase sampling food and drinks inspired by countries from across the globe.
Live music is a big part of the experience, and this year's Eat to the Beat Concert Series at the America Gardens Theater will feature performers including Smash Mouth, The Beach Boys, and The Fray, among others. The concerts are included with park admission.
Beyond the outdoor booths and stages, the festival also offers more intimate ticketed experiences. The Parisian Breakfast at Chefs de France and the Uncorked at Wine Bar George tasting series — held at Wine Bar George in Disney Springs throughout the festival season — are among the exclusive events planned for 2026.
Additional details on booth menus and special events are expected to be announced as the August 27 start date approaches. Disney Food Blog is tracking all updates ahead of opening day.
