What is the Epcot International Festival of the Arts?

The Epcot Festival of the Arts is Disney’s way of combining the creativity of arts and food in only a way Disney can do!

Although it began only three years ago, the Festival of the Arts has become a huge part of the Disney Culture.

It is essentially a celebration of creativity.

Creativity, not within the generic definition of it as arousal of visual and auditory senses, but a perfect blend of all five senses ESPECIALLY WITH THE FOOD!

Now that you know what to expect from this unique festival, let’s go through what new food experiences are available this year.

MUST DO Epcot Festival of the Arts Experience – Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine

If you have done the Cookie Stroll during the Epcot Festival of the Holidays, then you’ll be familiar with this foodie challenge.

On this Festival of the Arts adventure, you can eat your way around the world trying different colorful dishes.

How does the Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine work?

1. First you will have to buy 5 delicious dishes from the designated locations
2. Then you will put the matching stamps inside your Festival Passport to match up with the location
3. Finally, you’ll bring your completed Festival Passport to Decadent Delights for a “free” colorful culinary prize

Featured foods on the Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine:

• Red: Remy’s Ratatouille with Eggplant, Zucchini, Yellow Squash, Tomatoes, and Red Pepper Piperade — located at Festival Favorites
• Blue: Blue Corn Pupusa stuffed with Cheese and topped with Shredded Pork, Guajillo and Árbol Chile Sauce, Cabbage Slaw, and Aji Amarillo Crema – located at Vibrante & Vívido Food Studio.
