First Signs of Color! EPCOT Transforms for the 2026 Festival of the Arts. We’re officially seeing the first signs for the 2026 Festival of the Arts at EPCOT. The festival doesn’t start for another week, but the park is already looking a lot different. The festival officially runs from January 16 to February 23, 2026. Check out the full guide to Epcot’s International Festival of the Arts 2026
At the Main Entrance, large festival displays greet guests as they scan in. While over at The Odyssey Pavilion, fresh banners and signs for the Inspiration Station are visible, and the Photo Ops “step-in” frames are being moved into place.
The large 2026 entrance display is up, featuring an updated Figment design with lighter purple/pink tones and a less “cartoonish” look compared to 2025.
World Showcase Entrance has the same look as in past years. Figment centered on top of a rainbow, with paint tubes in orange and yellow. Figment has the same new look as the main entrance sign.
Figment’s Inspiration Station: Signs for this fan-favorite spot (located in the Odyssey Pavilion) are officially visible. It will be the “hub” for Figment-themed treats and the new Figment Artist Popcorn Bucket.
Artful Photo Ops: Several “step-in” photo booths have been installed, including scenes from Mary Poppins (tea time with penguins) and Sleeping Beauty on the bridge to World Showcase. Plus, George Washington Crossing the Delaware and the Italian pavilion photo ops are being set up.
CommuniCore Hall is ready for Once Upon A Stage. Celebrate the Magic of Disney on Broadway.
