Brushing Up on Magic: Our Family Adventure at EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts

Experiencing the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts with Family | Concept Rally

Visiting the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is an incredible experience, but attending as a family brings an entirely new level of magic. As art lovers and the team behind Concept Rally, we were especially excited to explore the festival’s vibrant mix of creativity, culture, and hands-on experiences—while also enjoying it through the eyes of our little one. Here’s what made our visit so special and why this festival is a must for families and art enthusiasts alike.

A Feast for the Senses: Art, Food & Entertainment

From the moment we walked through EPCOT’s gates, we were immersed in an explosion of color and artistry. Stunning murals, live painting demonstrations, and gallery displays showcased the immense talent of artists from around the world. As creators ourselves, we loved seeing different styles and techniques up close—it was truly inspiring for Concept Rally’s future projects!

Interactive Fun for the Whole Family

One of the highlights for us was the Expression Section: A Paint-by-Number Mural. This hands-on experience allowed guests to paint a small section of a larger mural, creating a collaborative masterpiece over the course of the festival. Our daughter had a blast adding her own splash of color—it was a wonderful way to introduce her to the joys of artistic expression.

Another family-friendly hit was Figment’s Brush with the Masters Scavenger Hunt. This activity had us searching for hidden art pieces featuring Figment, EPCOT’s mischievous little dragon, throughout the World Showcase. It kept our daughter engaged and excited, making our stroll through the pavilions even more enjoyable.

Inspiration for Our Own Artistic Journey

As a business dedicated to wall art, seeing such a diverse range of artwork at the festival was incredibly motivating. We found ourselves drawn to bold color palettes, imaginative compositions, and storytelling through art—elements that align with what we strive to bring to Concept Rally’s collection. The festival reinforced the idea that art should be immersive, personal, and, most importantly, shared.

Tips for Families Attending the Festival

If you’re planning to attend with little ones, here are some tips we picked up along the way:

  • Arrive early to enjoy lighter crowds and cooler temperatures.
  • Let kids engage in the art—from murals to scavenger hunts, there’s plenty for them to do.
  • Plan for breaks—there’s so much to see, but finding a quiet spot to recharge (or grab a festival treat) makes the experience more enjoyable.
  • Take lots of photos—not just for memories, but also for artistic inspiration later!

Final Thoughts

Attending the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts as a family was an unforgettable experience. The mix of creativity, culture, and interactive fun made it an event that resonated deeply with us, both personally and as part of Concept Rally. Whether you’re an artist, an art lover, or just looking for a unique Disney experience, this festival is a must-visit.
