It was announced earlier this week that the 2018 Epcot International Festival of the Arts will be open 7 days week from January 12 through February 19, 2018. For 2017, the Festival of the Arts ran Friday through Monday only. I guess the Festival was a big hit which is why they are extending the hours of operation.
Prior: Offsite most every other years from 1972 - 2000
Most recent: Offsite 2001 & 2003 / ASM 2006 / Offsite 2009 / Poly 2011 / POR 2013 / CR 2014 / GF 2015 / DS Hotel 2017 / BC 2017 / POR 2018

EPCOT only needs the summer months for a festival and they will have covered the year.

I seriously doubt they will do any festival during the summer months since that is the busiest time of the year outside of Christmas week and you don't see any festivals happening then.

You forgot, there is Holidays around the World in December, last December we were there for our first time and they had a few kitchens open with larger portions (actual turkey dinner) than the food and wine.
You are correct about the crowds in the summer and no need to bring people in with another festival.

I didn't forget about Holidays Around the World. I don't consider Holidays Around the World the same as the Epcot International Festivals which I why I did not include it. I have been to Holidays Around the World and to all three Epcot International Festivals. Yes, I agree you can similarities with Holiday Around the World but as I mentioned, I don't consider them the same as Holiday Around the World is just involving Future Showcase and NOT all of Epcot like the other festivals.
But......Disney has changed Holiday Around the World this year. This year, Holiday Around the World will for the first time involved all of Epcot and not just the World Showcase. In doing so, Disney has changed the name of Holiday Around the World to Epcot's International Festivals of the Holidays. So, yes....there is now a festival during the Christmas time.

I'm sure the new festival will be nice and get nicer each year.

And from the talk going on at WDW they are going to expand more kiosks with food at this festival also since people like eating and shopping....
