In its third year, this incredible festival is a celebration of the culinary, performing and visual arts with a bit of Disney-theming of course! To give you a sense of the amazing experiences that await, here are six reasons why we’re already over the moon for this year’s festival!
1. More Chances to Enjoy All the Festival Has To Offer- Each year the Festival has been expanding its wonderful experiences to include seminars, workshop, Broadway-style concerts, food booths, hands-on activities and activities that the whole family can enjoy. Disney hasn’t released a lot of specifics for next year’s event as of yet. However, what we do know is that visitors can expect even more opportunities to enjoy the incredible activities on offer. For instance, we already know that the Broadway Concert Series (which in years past has been a weekend event) will now take place throughout the week! Readers are encouraged to keep following along with MickeyBlog for the latest details and exciting Festival of the Arts offerings.
2. Culinary Works of Art – It wouldn’t be a Festival at Epcot without some really good grub. In this respect the Festival of the Arts really delivers. You’ll find pop-up eateries scattered about the park serving up visually stunning and deliciously wonderful dishes.
