Nothing brings the world together more than stuffing our faces and drinking! Epcot takes that sentiment to another level with their annual Food & Wine Festival. Global Marketplaces (also known as food booths) line World Showcase and other areas of the park, to give guests a taste of some unique dishes. Dates, plus a few details, have been announced and we’ll share them in this post.

2025 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival Dates

The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival started as a 30-day global celebration of flavors and culture around World Showcase. Since its inception, this festival has evolved into one of the most highly anticipated events each year at Walt Disney World, spanning across the entire park and delighting guests throughout the summer and fall months.

The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival will run from August 28 to November 22, 2025. Disney is claiming that the festival is running 90 days but that doesn’t quite add up, as the range is 87. We don’t need to be math sticklers though. Whether it’s 87 or 90 days, this is shorter than recent Food & Wine Festivals as recent ones started in July. I don’t have any insight into the festival scaling back on dates but do know that roaming World Showcase in late July covers me in as much sweat as Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson in a Fast & Furious movie.

2025 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival Marketplaces

Each year, the Global Marketplaces at EPCOT Food & Wine Festival feature diverse cuisines from around the world. These adventurous menus will again include kid-friendly and plant-based options.

For the 2025 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, we are celebrating with over 35 Global Marketplaces located all over the park. Stay tuned for the full menu reveal that will list every single item on the 2025 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival menus.

Remy’s Hide & Squeak Scavenger Hunt

The tiny rat with a big appetite is back and serving up another round of worldwide adventure. Inspired by Disney Pixar’s Ratatouille, Remy’s Hide and Squeak hunt invites you to join Remy as he “hides” throughout World Showcase.

This scavenger hunt is perfect for littles who are learning about different foods, and the challenge of finding Remy and scoring the hunt prize remains a festival must-do for adults.

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

At the America Gardens Theatre in the American Adventure Pavilion, live music and delectable cuisine come together to create an unforgettable experience. Stay tuned for the full Eat to the Beat Concert Series presented by Florida Blue schedule, which is known to include some returning fan favorites as well as new local sounds.

This series showcases a diverse lineup of artists spanning various genres and eras, with something for everyone to enjoy. The concerts typically take place a few times daily, providing ample opportunities for guests to catch their favorite acts.

Admission to see your favorite act is included with EPCOT park entry, and seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. For those seeking guaranteed seating, 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

Foodie lovers already know that the Living with the Land boat ride features an inside look at innovative agricultural techniques and learn 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.​
