If you’re a foodie, a Disney fan, or someone who loves the idea of eating your way around the world without leaving Florida, the 2025 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is calling your name! This year’s festival runs from August 28 through November 22, 2025, offering nearly three full months of mouthwatering magic.
What to Expect in 2025
Walt Disney World hasn’t released every detail just yet, but here’s what we know—and love—about the festival:
Global Marketplaces
The real stars of the show are the Global Marketplaces—seasonal food booths scattered throughout World Showcase and beyond. From the warm spices of Morocco to the creamy cheeses of France, every booth brings a new flavor adventure. Returning favorites like Canada’s filet mignon and Brazil’s pão de queijo are likely to make a comeback, along with some exciting new dishes.
Live Entertainment
The Eat to the Beat Concert Series returns, featuring popular bands and artists performing nightly at the America Gardens Theatre. Past lineups have included Boyz II Men, Sugar Ray, and Hanson—so you never know who might take the stage while you sip your Riesling.
Tasting Events & More
For those looking to level up their experience, keep an eye out for special culinary seminars, mixology demos, and exclusive tasting events. Whether you’re a seasoned sommelier or just love a good margarita, there’s something to savor.
Emile’s Fromage Montage
This fan-favorite cheese crawl invites guests to sample select cheesy dishes from around the festival. Get your Festival Passport stamped along the way and earn a free specialty treat at the end!
Family Fun
Yes, even the little ones can get in on the fun. Look for Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak scavenger hunt—a delightful way to keep kids engaged while the grown-ups snack.
Pro Tips for Foodie First-Timers
- Go early in the day to beat the heat—and the lines.
- Load up a Disney gift card just for food booth purchases. It keeps your budget in check and saves time.
- Use the My Disney Experience app to track wait times and show schedules.
- Don’t skip the non-alcoholic options—they’re often as creative and refreshing as the cocktails!
