Food & Wine and the Holidays are still to come. Here's what's confirmed and why Flower & Garden is our favorite. - Author: Stack the Magic - Tags: Parks, Food, Festivals, #verified > **Quick Answer:** Disney has announced two of EPCOT's 2027 festivals so far: the Festival of the Arts, January 15 to March 1, and the Flower & Garden Festival, March 10 to May 31\. Food & Wine and the Festival of the Holidays have no 2027 dates yet. If you're picking one to plan a trip around, Flower & Garden is our favorite. Food & Wine is a classic, obviously. But Flower & Garden is underrated by far, and we love it. If you're booking 2027 now, it's the festival we'd lean toward, and it's one of the two with confirmed dates. ## What Disney has announced for 2027 Disney confirmed the first two 2027 festival runs in September 2026\. The other two haven't been announced, so we're listing their 2026 dates only to show the usual season, not to predict next year's. | Festival | 2027 dates | | ------------------------ | ----------------- | | Festival of the Arts | Jan. 15 to Mar. 1 | | Flower & Garden | Mar. 10 to May 31 | | Food & Wine | Not announced yet | | Festival of the Holidays | Not announced yet | Dates from Disney's festival pages and WDWNT's September 2026 reports. For reference, the 2026 runs were Food & Wine, August 27 to November 21, and Festival of the Holidays, November 27 to December 30\. Last Checked: October 10, 2026. One thing to know about Flower & Garden: it opens about a week later than in 2026, when it started March 4\. The Festival of the Arts now runs through March 1, and Flower & Garden follows it on March 10\. The end date is close to 2026's June 1. ## Why Flower & Garden is our favorite It's easy to see why it gets overlooked next to Food & Wine. But it brings a lot in one park day. Disney's festival page lists these highlights from the 2026 event, with offerings subject to change in 2027: character topiaries and gardens across EPCOT, Outdoor Kitchens food kiosks, and the Garden Rocks Concert Series, plus Garden Rocks dining packages. Details for 2027 are still to come. Check [Disney's festival page](https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/events-tours/epcot/epcot-international-flower-and-garden-festival/?ref=stackthemagic.com) this winter, since the page itself says more information is coming then. It also runs for almost three months, so it fits many trips. A visit in the last week of March or the first half of May lands inside it, and you don't have to schedule around a single weekend. ## Food & Wine, the classic Food & Wine is the big one for a reason. The 2026 festival, its 30th, runs August 27 to November 21 with 33 Global Marketplaces around World Showcase and the Eat to the Beat concert series at the America Gardens Theatre, per [BlogMickey's festival map report](https://blogmickey.com/2026/08/epcot-shares-official-map-for-the-2026-food-wine-festival/?ref=stackthemagic.com). Disney hasn't announced 2027 dates, so don't book a trip around it yet. When the dates land, we'll add them here. Until then, treat 2027's Food & Wine as a bonus once the dates are out, not a reason to lock in a week. ## The Arts festival and the Holidays The Festival of the Arts, January 15 to March 1, has Food Studios and artists painting Disney characters live, and Disney's festival page lists the Disney On Broadway concert series at the America Gardens Theatre as a highlight from the 2026 event, with offerings subject to change in 2027\. The Festival of the Holidays has no 2027 dates yet. ## How to plan around a festival Use the festival as the headline and let the calendar do the rest. Pick your window first, then check what's running. If food is a big part of your plan, our [Dining Plan post](https://www.stackthemagic.com/disney-dining-plan-worth-it-2027/) shows whether a plan is worth buying for your family. **Try it:** Answer a few questions about budget, dates and who's coming in the [Trip Planner](https://www.stackthemagic.com/trip-planner/) and get a Value, Moderate or Deluxe pick for your dates. **Run your own numbers:** Enter who's going and how you like to eat in the [Dining Plan Calculator](https://www.stackthemagic.com/dining-plan-calculator/) to see your trip priced out of pocket and on every plan Disney sells. ## So, which one?
