Food & WineDaily helpings of innovative food, wine, beer, cocktails, music and entertainment will be served this year at the 18th Annual Epcot® International Food & Wine Festival taking place Sep. 27 – Nov. 11, 2013 at the Walt Disney World® Resort. While the festival planners are still busy finishing up some of the details, information on some new experiences has been released.

More than 25 ethnic and specialty marketplaces surround the World Showcase Lagoon with delectable offerings from their respective regions. New this year will be the Scotland Marketplace. Inspired by the success of Disney-Pixar’s Brave, the marketplace will offer dishes with traditional Scottish flavors as well as their signature cocktail, a Rusty Nail – a scotch whisky martini. After a one-year hiatus, the Brazil marketplace will return with an all new menu.

Nineteen bands are booked to rock the stage at the American Gardens Theatre during the nightly Eat to the Beat Concert Series. New to this year’s lineup is the Go-Go’s, Edwin McCain, Manhattan Transfer, Wilson Phillips, Spin Doctors, and Christopher Cross. Click here for a full lineup of performers.

The Epcot® International Food & Wine Festival also provides many great opportunities to experience Celebrity chef seminars and special culinary programs – some at an additional fee. For additional information, please contact your Magic Maker®.
