Disney's annual showcase of art, culture and cuisine, The Festival of the Masters, returns to Downtown Disney on Nov. 7-9.
This year's FREE event will be an creative mix of fine arts, live entertainment, delicious food and fun for the whole family with events taking place throughout the three districts of the Downtown Disney area - West Side, Pleasure Island and the Marketplace.
The free three-day festival will feature displays from celebrated visual artists, interactive activities for children and families, a diverse lineup of live performers, and tempting tastes of eclectic cuisine from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily.
More than 150 award-winning artists will be participating in this year's show. First, second and third place winners will be selected in nine categories: painting; watercolor; graphics, drawing, collage and printmaking; photography; sculpture; clay; glass; leather, fibre and paper, wood; and jewelry and non-sculptural metalwork.
In addition to the art that will be on display, Downtown Disney will be loaded with plenty of activities for the whole family to participate in:
Art lovers will delight in the creativity of Cirque du Soleil® performers who present special acts on Friday and Saturday afternoons ('Diabolos' at 2 p.m. Friday, 'Cycles' at 4 p.m. Friday, 'German Wheels' at 2 p.m. Saturday and 'Trampoline' at 4 p.m. Saturday).
