These concerts are part of the International Food and Wine Festival. This is a great time to visit Epcot especially if you enjoy sampling foods from around the world. All through the international marketplace there will be kiosks serving small sized portions of regional food and beverages. Lots of interesting experiences for the food and wine conossieur including wine tasting, guest chefs, winemakers, speakers and demonstrations.

If you plan on visiting a large number of food kiosks, you can get a Food and Wine Festival themed Disney gift card and wear it around your wrist. These can be picked up at many locations throughout the park and easily reloaded when you've used it up. You won't be fumbling with your wallet each time you stop for a sample!

Thanks for the tip Patty, I never knew you could get a wristband but have enjoyed sampling the different foods before. <:widegrin

These concerts are a great 'extra' when visiting Epcot, and with them being free it makes Epcot an even better place to visit. Looks like a great line-up, Steve. Only wish we were going at that time.

Me too - we would love to do the festival but being tied to school hols we've never managed it. I love the walk around the lake at Epcot.
