The Odyssey EPCOT Closes Ahead of Food & Wine Festival 2026

The Odyssey Event Pavilion at EPCOT is now closed, with the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival the likely reason. This year's festival runs from August 27 to November 21, 2026.

The Odyssey has been active over the summer, hosting food and beverage service alongside live entertainment from Max & Aydar - Amazing Masters of Variety, the circus-style variety act that brought plate spinning, juggling, and audience participation to the pavilion.

The Odyssey regularly serves as a festival venue during Food & Wine, and a closure at this point in the calendar fits the pattern of the space being prepared for the event.

Full details of the Global Marketplaces — the festival-exclusive food and beverage kiosks — have not yet been announced for 2026.

In both 2024 and 2025, The Odyssey hosted Brew-Wing Lab, one of the more popular indoor stops on the festival circuit. The kiosk focused on wings, tenders, and a rotating lineup of craft beers and hard ciders.
