Enjoy Florida Wild-Caught Shrimp At The 2005 Epcot International Food And Wine Festival
Visit the "Fresh from Florida" kiosk and experience one of the tasty wild-caught Florida shrimp dishes being served at the 10th annual Epcot International Food and Wine Festival. The festival runs from September 30 through November 13, and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is participating for the fourth straight year.
The "Fresh from Florida" kiosk is prominently placed on the Epcot promenade between Canada and Botswana, Africa, and across from the Festival Gift Shop. The Epcot International Food and Wine Festival is one of the largest gatherings of domestic and international visitors in the United States with over 1.1 million guests at the 2004 festival. Florida residents accounted for 33 percent of the festival-goers.
Culinary demonstrations featuring Florida seafood recipes are free of charge from October 29 through November 5 at Odyssey – The Chef’s Showplace. Entry is first-come-first-served. Check the festival guide for specific dates and times to enjoy more Florida seafood.
