Walt Disney World hosts Food & Wine Festival until 21 November

Walt Disney World and the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival are drawing visitors to Orlando through 21 November 2026. The festival is taking place at EPCOT, where Global Marketplaces, live music and food-themed activities form the current autumn programme.

EPCOT Food & Wine Festival runs until 21 November

The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival began on 27 August 2026 and continues until 21 November 2026. Disney lists it as an included event with valid EPCOT admission, while noting that a park reservation may be required for some admission types.

The programme is spread across the park rather than confined to one hall. Disney’s festival page describes a culinary route across six continents, with festival-exclusive Global Marketplaces and the Eat to the Beat Concert Series among its listed features.

Global Marketplaces connect the festival with EPCOT

EPCOT is divided into themed areas that combine attractions, dining and cultural settings. Its World Showcase includes pavilions representing countries and offers attractions such as Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, Frozen Ever After and Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros.

That setting gives the 2026 festival a clear relationship with the park itself. Visitors can move between the Global Marketplaces and the established World Showcase environment, while the official programme also includes Emile’s Fromage Montage and Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak.

The festival also sits alongside EPCOT’s regular attractions. Spaceship Earth is in World Celebration, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is in World Discovery, and The Seas with Nemo & Friends is in World Nature, according to the EPCOT park overview.

What the 2026 programme means for an EPCOT visit

The current event adds temporary festival features to a park that already contains rides, pavilions, restaurants and live entertainment. The official calendar names the Eat to the Beat Concert Series as part of the programme and lists music from recognised artists and local talent.

For visitors arriving during the remaining festival period, this means the food and entertainment programme remains part of the EPCOT experience until 21 November 2026. The event does not replace the park’s named areas or attractions, which continue to provide the broader setting for the visit.
