We just learned the dates for the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts!
The festival will take place from January 14th, 2022 through February 21st, 2022. It features food booths, entertainment, and work from over 100 different artists. We also just learned more about what is coming back to the festival, so here is everything confirmed to be returning to the 2022 Festival of the Arts!
First, of course, are the culinary delights from Food Studios around World Showcase. Last year, there were 16 booths featuring artistic food for you to try, along with additional locations.
This year, there are a total of 15 food booths as well as several additional dining locations serving festival-inspired eats and sips! Of the 15 booths, two of them are brand new: The Craftsman’s Courtyard and Deco Delights!
