Epcot International Food & Wine Festival 2024 – Muppets, Global Market Places, Concerts, Merchandise, and More. We are just over a week away from Epcot’s longest-running festival. The Food & Wine Festival presented by Corkcicle which runs from August 29th, 2024 to Nov 23rd, 2024. This makes this a great time to go down the master list of everything we know returning, and what is new for the 2024 version of the festival.
First, people are wondering why Epcot’s International Food & Wine Festival is starting so late. The answer is simple if you have been enjoying the festivals at Epcot since pre-pandemic. This is just going back to how the festivals used to run. Having Food & Wine starting in July was an anomaly, not the norm. Epcot has never really had a so-called summer Festival. Previously, lighter crowds were expected at the end of August and into the fall due to children going back to school, and obviously parents not being able to head out on vacation at this time. So, Epcot International Food & Wine is a semi-local festival.
With that out of the way, let us get into everything we know so far. We have written about the Global Market Places, and Eat to the Beat concert line including the Eat to the Beat dining packages with prices. We also have a small sneak peak at some of the merchandise, which is where we will start.
