The 2024 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival

Raise your Remy-shaped wine glass, fellow epicureans—2024's EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival isn't just an event; it is a 133-day odyssey of indulgence that will turn the World Showcase into the ultimate passport stamp for your palate. Kicking off on August 29 and stretching through November 23, this year's edition cranked the "extraordinary" to eleven, blending global bites, celebrity sips, and sunset serenity seminars into a symphony of flavors.

What is going to elevate 2024 to legendary status? The star power. The Eat to the Beat concert series brought heavy hitters like Barenaked Ladies, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, and even a soulful set from Hanson, turning the America Gardens Theatre into a open-air amphitheater under the stars. Add in the Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak scavenger hunt (adorably chaotic) and the returning Global Food & Beverage Pairings seminars—think sommeliers dissecting why that French onion dip pairs perfectly with a crisp Sancerre—and you've got education wrapped in entertainment.

Sustainability is getting a spotlight too, with booths highlighting farm-to-fork stories and low-waste initiatives, proving Disney's not just about fun but forward-thinking feasting. Crowds will be hearty, sure, but the festival's sprawl will zig-zag from Morocco's tagine to Australia's lamingtons without breaking a sweat (or your budget—sample platters started at $4-6 a pop).

Arrive hungry, leave inspired. What's your go-to festival booth? The comments are calling—spill the sauce!
