The EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival is one of the biggest events Disney throws all year — and it brings in the crowds for a reason.

Food & Wine Festival

From food booths to concerts to unique merch, it’s a whole thing. And while Disney hasn’t officially released the 2025 dates yet, based on what we’ve seen in recent years (and a few other clues), we’ve got a pretty solid idea of when you can expect it to kick off. Let’s talk predictions.

For a long time, the Food and Wine Festival was a fall tradition at EPCOT. Back in 2019, the festival ran from August 29th through November 23rd, wrapping up the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Then the pandemic hit, and Disney shifted gears.

When the festival returned in 2021, it came back with a longer schedule — starting in July and running through November. That trend continued for a few years, but in 2024, Disney surprised us by pushing the start date back to late August again.

Here’s a quick look at the past few years:

  • 2021: July 15 – November 20
  • 2022: July 14 – November 19
  • 2023: July 27 – November 18
  • 2024: August 29 – November 23

So now the big question is — what will Disney do in 2025?

Our Prediction for 2025

Given the shift in 2024 back to a late-August start, we think Disney is sticking with that pattern. If that’s the case, we’re expecting the 2025 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival to run from August 28th through November 22nd.

Why those dates?

  • August 28th is the last Thursday of the month (and Disney usually kicks off festivals on Thursdays)
  • November 22nd is the Saturday before Thanksgiving, which is when the festival typically wraps up

This timeline mirrors the 2024 schedule almost exactly and feels like the most likely window unless Disney throws in a curveball.

Final Thoughts

Of course, Disney hasn’t confirmed anything just yet, and we’re keeping a close eye out for the official announcement. But if you’re starting to think about planning your fall Disney World trip — especially if EPCOT Food and Wine is a must-do — we’d recommend using the August 28 to November 22 window as your planning guide for now.
