The Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts Starts Tomorrow

Disney

For the past four years, EPCOT has become a riot of colors and flavors in the midst of winter by holding its Festival of the Arts. This year, the festival will return as the Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. This celebration of visual, culinary, and performing arts is amazingly entertaining. Favorite Disney artists visit to show off their latest artwork, talk with guests, and even autograph their designs. Guests can become a part of the art by stepping into unique photo spots and can take part in creating gigantic paint-by-number murals.

The Voices of Liberty will perform at the American Gardens Theatre with songs from The Disney Songbook. These songs will celebrate Disney's amazing composers and lyricists and include songs from "When You Wish Upon A Star" to "Let It Go."

If intriguing dishes are what you seek, this Festival has something for everyone. Here are this year's Food Booths and their delicious sounding menus.
