Pastoral Palate: A Hit or a Miss at EPCOT’s 2025 Festival of the Arts?
It’s a beautiful day for a festival, and MickeyBlog is LIVE on the scene as we kick off EPCOT’s 2025 Festival of the Arts!


2025 Festival of the Arts
It’s certainly no secret that EPCOT’s four annual festivals are RIDICULOUSLY popular.
From the lush topiaries of the Flower & Garden Festival to the festive entertainment of the park’s Festival of the Holidays, each event offers its own unique vibe and enchanting experiences.

But while the festivals are all deliciously different, there’s one important thing they have in common! Obviously, I’m talking about those mouth-watering OUTDOOR KITCHENS!

This year, EPCOT’s 2025 International Festival of the Arts kicks off today, January 17th, and runs through Monday, February 25th, 2025, bringing exclusive merchandise, exciting art demonstrations, and creative cuisine to the park.
We just couldn’t wait to sample all the tasty treats the festival has to offer, so we stopped by Pastoral Palate to get a taste!

Let’s check it out!

Home to the lively Biergarten restaurant, EPCOT’s Germany pavilion is a great place to be ANY time of year.

But during EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts, this cozy pavilion is ALSO home to Pastoral Palate, where you’ll find a nice array of food and drink.

This year, the menu features two savory food options, one sweet treat, and five rosé-based beverage options.
This includes a rosè flight and the returning Red Wine-braised Beef Short Rib with parsnip puree, broccolini, baby tomatoes, and balsamic glaze. This year, there’s also a NEW option, the Pork and White Bean Cassoulet with Regensburger Sausage and crispy pork rinds.

We opted for a sole dish at Pastoral Palate — the Pork and White Bean Cassoulet ($7.00)!

Made with sausage and crispy pork rinds, this is a HEAVY and filling dish. The sausage is flavorful and tasty and pairs perfectly with the beans.
Overall, we enjoyed this dish, but we wished that there were more of those crunchy pork rinds on the top!

Don’t Miss Out!
