Hungry for fun? Here's the perfect opportunity (or excuse) to eat, drink and be very merry. The 15th Annual Epcot ® International Food & Wine Festival showcases the flavors of the world. Explore over 25 international marketplaces throughout World Showcase, including Italy, France, Japan, Australia and Argentina. Learn from renowned chefs and winemakers at special programs and demonstrations, and sample the finest cuisine from around the globe.
Attend a very inexpensive wine tasting and demonstration. Plus, be sure to savor the sizzling sounds of the Eat to the Beat concert series that stars some of the biggest names in music. Shortly a schedule will be released which in past years has included such favorites as The Beach Boys, Sheena Easton, David Cassidy and more! These free concerts are held in the American Gardens Theater.
