EPCOT International Festival of the Arts
Festival of the Arts 2026
2026 is not announced. Everything below is either the pattern or the last confirmed cycle, labeled as such — see the main Festival of the Arts page for how the event works.
Last confirmed cycle · Checked July 2026
The 2026 cycle finished before this page's verification date, so it is recorded as a past edition. We have not listed the 2026 studio roster or concert lineup, because both rotate annually and a stale list of either would read as current.
What is different in 2026
- Ran the standard mid-January to late-February window as an included-with-admission festival, the tenth consecutive cycle since the event launched in 2017.
- The studio count stayed well below Food & Wine's, which continues to be the defining difference between the two events for anyone choosing between them.

This part does not change year to year, so it is kept in one place.
