Celebrating Culinary Adventures from October 1 — November 14, 2010
In 2009, the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, presented by Vanity Fair, makes its grand return, transforming the theme park into a destination filled with the world’s tastiest regional foods and drinks, rockin’ concerts, and unforgettable sensory experiences. Guests will delight in tantalizing new additions — from the robust and exotic flavors of Rio de Janeiro and Bangkok to world-class performers like Richard Marx, Billy Ocean and Vanessa Carlton… who will take the stage at the Festival for the very first time!
