While the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is in full swing, EPCOT’s most anticipated festival is right around the corner. Starting July 27 through November 18, EPCOT will hold its annual International Food & Wine Festival. The fan-favorite event is a celebration of culinary masterworks from around the world, with dozens of food booths featuring international fare, as well as delicious drinks, cooking demonstrations, and more.
One of the other features of the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is the Eat to the Beat concert series, which is held in the America Gardens Theater in the World Showcase. This concert series celebrates both local groups and internationally known superstars playing free concerts in EPCOT, so you can dine and jam out at the same time!
