Join Remy’s Hide & Squeak Scavenger Hunt

Remy is back and ready to explore EPCOT once again during the Food & Wine Festival. Inspired by Disney and Pixar’s Ratatouille, Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak scavenger hunt encourages guests of all ages to follow along with the culinary‑loving character as he hides throughout World Showcase.

This interactive hunt is ideal for families and offers a fun way to discover different pavilions while keeping an eye out for Remy and the ingredients he is collecting. Purchase a themed map and stickers to track your progress, and receive a special keepsake after you spot Remy in every location.

Tune In to the Eat to the Beat Concert Series

Live music takes center stage each year at the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, with the return of the Eat to the Beat Concert Series at the America Gardens Theatre in the American Adventure Pavilion.

This popular performance series brings together flavorful fun and tasty tunes, with a dynamic lineup highlighting a curated mix of music for all to appreciate. Multiple shows are usually scheduled each day, so you can find a way to feel the beat no matter how jam-packed your park day itinerary is.

Concerts are included with EPCOT theme park admission, and seating is available on a first‑come, first‑served basis. Information about concert series dining packages will be shared closer to the festival, which provide a great way to indulge in a meal before the show and have a guaranteed seat when the music begins.

The full lineup of artists will be announced at a later date, so keep an ear out!
