Epcot will mark the 12th year of the festival, which is hailed as one of the longest and largest food and wine festivals in the world. This year's festival will be held from September 28 to November 11 at Epcot at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, and features cuisine from across the globe, a spectacular live music concert series, and exciting demonstrations and seminars from Disney and celebrity chefs.

"In the year of our state centennial celebration -- a year in which we honor our state's storied past and look ahead to a limitless future - it is truly exciting that Oklahoma has embarked on this unique opportunity with one of the great hallmarks of American entertainment and recreation, the Walt Disney World Resort," said Governor Henry. "This year's festival provides an unparalleled spotlight for Oklahoma, and will bring our state closer to festival visitors from throughout the world."
