The EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays is a wonderful way to experience a wide variety of holiday tradition, all in the space of one theme park. Each year, stories and traditions from around the world are shared at different locations throughout EPCOT. This year, EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays Presented by AdventHealth will be offered from November 29 through December 30th.
Throughout EPCOT during the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, guests will be able to experience holiday storytellers, delicious dishes, merchandise, entertainment and more, each celebrating unique cultural traditions. Holiday Kitchens throughout the park will allow for guests to experience seasonal foods and drinks that come from around the globe as well.
On top of all of the offerings listed above, the Candlelight Processional will be returning. As has been the tradition for a very long time, a celebrity narrator will tell the Christmas story each night at the America Gardens Theatre. The narrator is accompanied by a full orchestra and mass choir. It is a beautiful and moving experience that finds its origins in the early years of Disneyland. While the narrators have not been announced at this point, expect that to come in the not too distant future. There will also be dining plans offered for those who would like to experience this tradition this way.
Daps Magic will continue to monitor any updates about EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays and the Candlelight Processional. Details will be posted as they become available.
