All of the Entertainment at the 2023 EPCOT Festival of the Arts!

The EPCOT Festival of the Arts is finally here!

This EPCOT Festival is a celebration of different kinds of art — culinary, visual, and performance! So, along with a variety of delicious dishes, you can also find tons of entertainment around the park to enjoy. We’re breaking down ALL the entertainment you can find at the park during the Festival of the Arts.

Disney on Broadway

Perhaps the most well-known entertainment option is the Disney on Broadway Concert series, a fan-favorite that is returning this year. The concert features various Broadway performers singing songs from classic Disney movies.

It’s a popular show to take in, so if you want to guarantee your spot to enjoy it, dining packages for the concert series are available.

Chalk Full of Characters

Go on your own scavenger hunt around World Showcase to try and spot the Chalk Full of Characters!

This returning entertainment option features chalk drawings of your favorite Disney characters in the World Showcase pavilion where they best belong. They are a great photo op, with some proving more challenging to spot than others!

There are also TONS of new options this year to check out that are different from years past.

Artful Photo Ops

Want to become a work of art? You can pose in a number of the Artful Photo Ops around the park.

These photo ops let you step inside famous works of art, including Washington Crossing the Delaware by Emanuel Leutze, The Scream by Edvard Munch, Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, and more.

You can pick up a numbered cup of paint and a paintbrush…

…and then fill in your square to help unveil a massive mural!

Figment’s Scavenger Hunt

You can purchase a map at select locations to participate in Figment’s Brush with the Masters scavenger hunt. You can pick up the map for $9.99.

For the scavenger hunt, you’ll be on the lookout for hidden Figments in art throughout World Showcase.

After finding all the Figments, you can turn in the map to win a prize! Last year the prize was small character puzzles, and this year the prize is a figurine you can paint! We chose Minnie Mouse, but there were other character options you could grab as well!

 

Musicians, Performance Arists, and More

It wouldn’t be the Festival of the Arts without a TON of performing artists. Look out for chalk artists along the pathways, creating mind-bending works of art.

You can also learn how to draw a Disney Character with a session by an animation artist at the America Gardens Theatre! From 12:30PM to 1PM each day, you can stop by for an Animation Academy session with one of the following artists:

• Will Gay
• Lon Smart
• Ron Cohee
• Matthew Dewater
• Brian Blackmore
• Sarah Schmidt
• David Holbrook
• Michael Montgomery

Over at World Showcase Plaza, there are also a variety of musicians, acrobatic artists, and performing artists that you will be able to see.

You can also see the JAMMitors performing.
