While the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival may still be ongoing, preparation is starting for the next EPCOT festival!
The EPCOT Festival of the Holidays starts the day after Thanksgiving on November 25th, 2022. Disney has already released the FULL list of booths for this year, along with a list of celebrity narrators for the famous Candlelight Processional. But, there’s been a slight change in who will be performing this year!
The Candelight Processional happens as part of the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, featuring different celebrity narrators retelling the traditional Christmas story alongside a choir and orchestra.
Previously, Edward James Olmos was set to perform November 27th to 29th, but has been replaced by Chita Rivera for his performances.
Rivera is a longtime staple for the Candlelight Processional, and we’re excited to see her return! If you need a refresher on who will be performing this year, here is the full schedule:
- November 25th and 26th, 2022: Simu Liu *NEW
