The holidays will be over before you know it, and soon, it will be 2023!
That means we’re looking ahead to the EPCOT Festival of the Arts, which will run from January 13th through February 20th. The festival will include food booths, special activities, exclusive merchandise, and more! There will also be a LOT of entertainment, and we’ve got the full list of ALL the entertainment you’ll find at the 2023 festival!
We already knew that the Disney on Broadway concert series would be returning to the festival. This is a concert series with some of Broadway’s biggest stars performing for guests during the festival. Performers this year will include Kara Lindsay (from Newsies), Kevin Massey (from Tarzan), Arielle Jacobs (from Aladdin), and Mandy Gonzalez (from Aida).
Dining packages are available for the concert series, which will include a meal PLUS guaranteed seating for a concert.
Disney has also confirmed that other musical performances will take place during the festival daily at the World Showcase Plaza. Featured musicians include:
- Nicholas Marks, playing guitar Thursday through Saturday
- Victor Espinola, playing harp Monday through Friday
You’ll be able to get times for each performance through the My Disney Experience app.
Art Defying Gravity will also return to the festival this year. Guests will be able to watch acrobats displaying their talents and skills at World Showcase Plaza, Saturday through Wednesday during the festival.
Finally, guests will be able to watch artists LIVE as they create art right in front of them in World Showcase Plaza, Thursday through Sunday and on select Mondays during the festival. This year’s artists include:
Trevor Carlton
- January 14th-January 17th
- February 3rd-February 6th

- February 17th-21st
Stephen Fishwick

It’s all happening during the 2023 EPCOT Festival of the Arts. We’ll be there on DAY ONE showing you around the festival, reviewing all the food booths, and checking out all the entertainment for ourselves. So be sure to check back with us on January 13th, and we’ll let you know if we get any more entertainment news!
