We’re a little over a month away from the 2021 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival kicking off in Disney World!

There are tons of new and returning food booths, activities, and entertainment to look forward to and, now there’s even more to be excited about for those who love to listen to music while they eat!
Disney has announced that a new live concert series called America Gardens Bandstand presented by Florida Blue Medicare will be featured at the beginning of the Food & Wine Festival this year.

The concert series will occur Friday through Monday evenings at the America Gardens Theater stage and will include local bands from Central Florida. This type of concert series isn’t brand new to EPCOT though — Disney introduced a live local band series for the Flower & Garden Festival, so it’s exciting to see more live music returning to the park.

The concert series will join other musical performances including the returning Voices of Liberty, Mariachi Cobre, and the Jammin’ Chefs.

Disney has not shared whether this is a replacement for the Eat to the Beat Concert Series that is normally featured during the Food & Wine Festival, however, this local band series did replace the Rock Concert Series for the Flower & Garden Festival.
We will continue to keep an eye out for more Food & Wine updates, so stay tuned to AllEars for the latest!

Not happening, need to keep the variety, proven mix of bands of the 70s, 80s, 90s of all types. Why wreck a good thing that was always busy? Wake up Disney, it’s not always about the money or is it? Higher prices with less already, not less quality?
I miss the “Eat to the Beat” concert series. I really hope that returns in some form. No offense to the local EPCOT talent that is there all the time!
