History

The year 1995 is pinned to be the birth of this fantastic festival, and it ran successfully for 30 days. And this success opened the gateway for other festivals like the International Festival of the Holidays, the Flower & Garden Festival, and the International Festival of the Arts, which celebrates the culinary arts and performing arts.

The ‘Marketplaces’ are the heart of the festival, where a variety of wines and dishes are made available. The marketplaces are the food booths that were built by Walt Disney with the kitchen facility. This kitchen facility has helped the chefs deliver approximately as many as 4000 sheet pans of steaming foods and other stuff. This festival has attracted a huge guest strength globally and has been growing ever since.

Each booth in the festival offers more than two food items and beverages. You get to relish a whole collection of wine varieties, cocktails, martinis, beers, and exclusive drinks. Different themes have been coined like the ‘Earth eats,’ which features the plant-based items.
