Where is the Main Stage Located?

Located at the America Gardens Theatre stage in EPCOT (in between Italy and Japan), you can check out the wide range of musical acts at the stage located directly across from The American Adventure pavilion.

From Smash Mouth to David Archuleta, there have been plenty of iconic groups and rockstar solo artists to perform on this hallowed stage, and we can’t wait to see this next lineup wow audiences during each performance.

Is There Guaranteed Seating?

Seating during each musical act is first-come, first-served, and often fills up very quickly, so make sure to plan ahead and make it a priority on your visit to the Food & Wine Festival.

Admission to see your favorite act is included with EPCOT park entry, and seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. For those seeking guaranteed seating, dining packages are offered, allowing guests to enjoy a meal at select EPCOT restaurants before the show.

Festival Concert Series Dining Packages

Beginning July 16, 2025, guests this year can again secure a spot in advance by reserving a Festival Concert Series Dining Package available Friday-Monday.

What Do the Dining Packages Include?

When you purchase the Festival Concert Series Dining Package this year, you can enjoy the following choices:

Choose from breakfast, lunch or dinner (selections will vary depending on the restaurant you choose)
Entree and Dessert or buffet
Non-Alcoholic Beverage or an Alcoholic Beverage (for guests ages 21 and older)

After you’ve devoured your delicious meal, you’ll receive a reserved seating badge for one of the Festival Concert Series performances that same day.

The reserved seating is in the second section in the middle of the America Gardens Theatre. While seating is guaranteed, it’s on a first-come, first-served basis within that section, so arriving early is still recommended for the best view.

For All Future Concert-Goers: Please note that specific offerings may vary by restaurant. For example, at Spice Road Table, the meal includes two small plates, a shared dessert platter and a beverage. Prices for the dining package vary by restaurant and mealtime.

Make your reservations through the My Disney Experience app or the official Walt Disney World website.

Are Eat to the Beat Shows Free?

Yes! Whether or not your favorite genre is rock, pop or alternative, admission is complimentary to see your favorite act and is included with EPCOT park entry. Simply select your seat and get ready to have a great night full of music.

How Long Will the Concerts Be Performing at EPCOT?
