We were invited to a media preview of the 2nd annual Epcot International Festival of the Arts at Walt Disney World. The month-long festival runs from January 12 – February 19, 2018 and includes an art walk, photo ops, chalk art, culinary offerings, live music, stage performances, art seminars, activities designed with families in mind and so much more. They’ve rolled everything you love about the arts into one spectacular salute.
