EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival returns Aug. 27, featuring 30 dishes from earlier festivals, either returning or reworked, for its 30th anniversary. The event continues daily through Nov. 21, 2026.
The first festival was held in 1996. It has since become a regular fixture on EPCOT’s fall calendar, bringing temporary food booths, concerts and activities to the park.
The anniversary list reaches across the Global Marketplaces. It includes former favorites such as Canadian cheddar and bacon soup, Brazilian cheese bread and Spanish paella caldoso.
Disney published the complete menus in its official 2026 Foodie Guide on Aug. 19. However, visitors should know that several marketplaces will not be operating when the festival begins.
The returning menu covers six continents
Embedded media follows. Please allow a moment for it to load.
The Canadian booth will again offer cheddar and bacon soup with a pretzel roll for $6.29 and filet mignon with mushrooms and mashed potatoes for $10.49.
Other returns include French escargot baked in croissant dough, German schinkennudeln, a Japanese spicy temaki hand roll and liquid-nitrogen almond truffle mousse.
Brew-Wing Lab will revive the infamous Pickle Milk Shake. Introduced in 2023, it costs $6.49 and gives festival nostalgia a briny edge and plenty of opportunity to gross out your friends.
Several marketplaces arrive after opening day
Festival Favorites and The Wedge open Sept. 18. The Alps, Coastal Eats, Earth Eats and India follow on Oct. 2. That schedule means the warm raclette baguette at The Alps and chicken tikka masala at India will be absent during the festival’s first five weeks.
The Wedge closes Nov. 8, nearly two weeks before the festival. Visitors planning around one item should check the current marketplace guide before choosing a date.
Park admission does not include the tastings
The festival is included with valid EPCOT admission, although some ticket types may also require a park reservation. Food and beverages cost extra.
Eat to the Beat concerts, Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak and Emile’s Fromage Montage also return. Cheers to Cheese occupies CommuniCore Hall from Sept. 18 through Nov. 8.
