What’s better than one iconic Walt Disney World fall tradition? Two things are happening at the same time. As we count down to the 2025 return of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, Disney has revealed another delicious reason to plan that autumn vacation: the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival officially returns August 29 through November 23, 2025.
That’s 87 days of culinary adventures, returning fan favorites, live music, and family-friendly activities, making it the perfect complement to a Magic Kingdom party night. Plan a few evenings of festive fun for the kids, then spend your Epcot days sipping, snacking, and strolling through over 35 Global Marketplaces filled with flavors worldwide.
A Fall Tradition That Keeps Getting Better
The Epcot Food & Wine Festival has come a long way since its 30-day debut. In 2025, this epic culinary celebration will run nearly three months, featuring:
- Global Marketplaces with everything from sweet to savory
