EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival 2024

Every year there are multiple EPCOT festivals, including the Food & Wine Festival. From the name, you can tell that this festival celebrates food and wine from around the world. It is one of the longer festivals at EPCOT. This year, it is running from August 29th - November 23rd. (I will be there this year for the last day of it)

The most important part of the festival is the food and drinks, but there are also other fun things to do at the World Showcase during the festival.

1. Eat to the Beat Concert Series

During the festival, there are performances at America Gardens Theater. These performances happen nightly, and multiple times per night. They feature cover bands, local bands, and some famous bands. There are dining packages that include the Eat to the Beat Concert Series, so you are guaranteed a seat at one of the shows. If you like music, you should attend at least one concert.

2. Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak

Do you like scavenger hunts? Do you like winning prizes? Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak takes place in the World Showcase. The point of the scavenger hunt is to find little figurines of Remy from Ratatouille holding different ingredients. For this scavenger hunt, you are given a map and stickers. The map tells you where you should be able to find the figurines. You search in those areas and once you find the ingredient, you place the correct sticker on the map in the correct spot. Once you fill in the whole map, you can win a grand prize. Keep in mind, that this can be done over multiple days, just keep your map and stickers.

3. Emile’s Fromage Montage

Do you like cheese? This is a cheese-based food crawl. You have to eat a cheese-based item from certain festival booths, and if you fill in all of the spaces in a pamphlet you are given, you win a grand prize. The pamphlet also tells you what items from which festival booths count. Keep in mind, that this can be done over multiple days, just keep your pamphlet.

4. CommuniCore Hall and Plaza in EPCOT’s World Celebration

This is a new area made just for celebrating the festivals. During the Food & Wine Festival, it will be home to demonstrations, mixology bars, and live events.
