The 2023 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is underway, and we’ve compiled everything you need to know to plan your visit! The festival runs from January 13 through February 20 at EPCOT and features live entertainment, fine arts, cuisine, and more.

2023 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts

Festival Passport

Guests can pick up a festival passport at the park entrance. It contains information such as menus and entertainment. You’ll need one if you plan on doing the Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine.

Entertainment

Figment-Themed Beacon of Magic

The new show uses audio from the original Journey into Imagination attraction, with Dreamfinder and Figment. The shows begin at dusk each evening and start every fifteen minutes. It rotates between four shows, so you may have to wait to catch the new Figment one.

The other currently running Beacons of Magic shows at Spaceship Earth are the original show, EPCOT40, and Rainbow Connection.

Activities

Magic Shots

You can find the Magic Shots at the following locations:

• Figment Wings: Most Disney PhotoPass locations in EPCOT
• Figment Chalk Art: At the main entrance to the park and near the entrance to World Showcase under the Monorail beam
• Figment Flying: Most Disney PhotoPass locations in EPCOT
• Tiny World: Near the main entrance to the park
• Paintbrush Prop: At the main entrance to the park
• Pixel Stick: Near Creations Shop

Step-In Photo Ops

Step-in photo ops around the park let guests put themselves in famous works of art. For a full list of the photo ops and their locations, click here.

Figment’s Brush with the Masters Scavenger Hunt

Guests can purchase maps to participate in Figment’s Brush With the Masters. To complete the scavenger hunt, match the corresponding sticker to the correct pavilion’s frame — each featuring Figment in a classic work of art. When your palette of places is complete, head to World Traveler or Disney Traders to receive your prize!

Chalk Full of Characters

Guests can participate in a self-led scavenger hunt to find various “chalk” character decals throughout World Showcase (plus one near the Imagination Pavilion). Unlike Figment’s Brush With the Masters, there’s no cost (but also no prize).

Expression Section

Guests can get in on the creative fun with the return of Expression Section. The experience consists of painting a large mural in numbered sections. Expression Section is open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., subject to weather.

Spin Art

Art gets physical at the 2023 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts with the return of Spin Art to the Germany Pavilion. A guest writes their name on a canvas, then chooses up to four different colors. Then, they hop onto a stationary bike and pedal to create their own unique piece of spin art. One experience is $19.
