Where is the Main Stage Located?
Set in the heart of EPCOT between the Italy and Japan pavilions, the America Gardens Theatre offers an outstanding opportunity to enjoy live music across a range of genres. Positioned directly across from The American Adventure, this stage has hosted everyone from Smash Mouth to David Archuleta—welcoming both legendary groups and crowd-pleasing solo acts. With each new season, the lineup promises to impress, and this year will be no exception. If you’re planning your visit, this is one experience you’ll want to build into your itinerary.
Is There Guaranteed Seating?
Seats for each performance are first-come, first-served and tend to fill up fast—especially for popular headliners. If you’re planning to catch a show during the Food & Wine Festival, it’s smart to arrive early and build it into your day so you don’t miss out.
Starting July 16, 2025, you can reserve a Festival Concert Series Dining Package, offered Friday through Monday.
What Do the Dining Packages Include?
If you’re eyeing the EPCOT Festival Concert Series this year, we’ve got a smart way to elevate your experience: let us reserve a Festival Concert Series Dining Package for you. With this exclusive bundle, you’ll enjoy a full-service meal—whether breakfast, lunch, or dinner—paired with your choice of entrée and dessert or buffet, and a beverage (alcoholic options available for guests 21 and up).
After your delicious meal, you’ll receive a reserved seating badge for that evening’s concert at America Gardens Theatre. Seating is guaranteed in the second section, center stage, giving you a great view of the performance. While your spot is secure, we still recommend arriving early to find your perfect seat within the reserved area.
Every participating restaurant offers something unique. For example, at Spice Road Table, you’ll enjoy two small plates, a shared dessert platter, and a drink—all with that signature waterfront ambiance. Package pricing varies based on location and mealtime, and we’ll help you navigate the best options for your group.
Let us handle the details so you can relax, dine, and enjoy the show—EPCOT never sounded so good.
