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 experience. Guest will delight in tantalizing new additions from the robust and exotic flavors of Rio De Janeiro and Bankok 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!

You can even pick up a food & Wine Themed Gift Card-a fast, easy and secure way to carry your money on your wrist, and simply the best way to experience the festival. Just load or reload the card with any amount you desire, swipe-and you're spared the trouble of getting out your credit card or cash anytime you want to pay for food, merchandise and more. Get it throughout EPCOT at ticket booths, guest relations, or The Festival Welcome Center.

The thrills at the ultimate dining, drinking, and music event don't stop! Look at the entertainment lineup!
