The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival will be returning on July 15, 2021, and running through November 20. Disney has announced new information about the festival, which will be sponsored by CORKCICLE this year.
At Shimmering Sips and four other locations, guests will be able to get sparkling beverages in a keepsake CORKCICLE container.
In addition to several old Global Marketplaces, there will be new ones this year in Morocco, The American Adventure, and elsewhere in the park starting in July. Even more marketplaces will then be opening in the fall.
Voices of Liberty, Mariachi Cobre, and Jammin’ Chefs will return to this festival. It will also open with American Gardens Bandstand presented by Florida Blue Medicare. In this concert series, local bands from Central Florida will perform popular songs from yesterday and today Friday through Monday evenings at the America Gardens Theatre.
Local bands? Lol…
They gotta come from somewhere.
Yeah but in the past they at least were able to get Z list bands who may have had one hit in the past. They are probably cheaping out again.
Probably still trying to control crowds. Doubt it’s about money. For what it’s worth, some of the local bands performing now are pretty darn good.
Very disappointed. While some of the local bands were good, they don’t replace the entertainment they offered pre-covid and they performed every day. Disney took ‘Taste of” of the description of the event which should imply things are back to normal. I just hope this is not the new normal!
The year they had synth-pop acts like Howard Jones and English Beat was amazing. Local Bands? Nice, but exercise your venue power, Disney
