The 2026 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival is still two months away, but signs of the event are already showing up around the park. Several themed marketplace booths have appeared throughout World Showcase, giving guests an early look at what is coming. Here is a rundown of what has been spotted so far and what to expect when the festival begins.
Booths Spotted Around World Showcase
During a walk around World Showcase on June 26, 2026, several themed booths were already in place. While the structures have started to take shape, some still lack their signage, so a few of the marketplaces can be identified mainly by their decor and placement for now.
One faux stone booth near the promenade represents the Spain marketplace. Its detailed exterior helps it stand out even before the festival branding goes up.
Near the Morocco Pavilion, a booth representing Greece has also appeared. Like several others, it is in place with some decorations, though the signs had not yet been installed at the time it was seen.
The area between the Morocco and France Pavilions is home to a couple of booths. One of them has served as the Belgium marketplace in past years and sits in that same spot again.
Nearby, also between the two pavilions, is the Brazil booth.
Closer to the front of World Showcase, the Hawai’i booth has been set up as well. Its position near the entrance puts it in a spot many guests pass early in their visit.

The 2026 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival runs from August 27 through November 21. That gives the event a run of nearly three months, with the early booth setup pointing to the steady preparation happening well ahead of opening day.
