    What is the difference between The Eat to the Beat Concert Series and The Food and Wine Festival? Are they one in the same?

    Hey there, Arnold! Thanks for stopping by planDisney and sharing your question with us. I’m sure you’re counting down the days until your Walt Disney World adventure. Let’s dig in and get you the information you need to plan the most magical vacation. 

    The short answer to your question is that these events are different, but related. The Eat to the Beat Concert Series is one part of the larger EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival

    The EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival is a seasonal celebration that runs from August 28 through November 22, 2025. This festival encompasses the entire park and includes food stalls with limited-time dishes and beverages inspired by cuisines from around the world, special merchandise, and themed activities such as Emile’s Fromage Montage and Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit. 

    As I mentioned above, the Eat to the Beat Concert series is one part of the International Food and Wine Festival. These special concerts take place at the America Gardens Theatre near the American Pavilion in World Showcase, and admission is included with your valid EPCOT admission (subject to availability). You can find the list of performers here, and it looks like Element will be playing during your visit (schedule subject to change). If you want to reserve your seat for the show, I'd suggest checking out the concert series dining package

    Arnold, I hope you find this information helpful and that you have an amazing visit to EPCOT and Walt Disney World later this year. Come right back if you have any other trip planning questions. We’re always happy to help! 

    Magical travels!
