Foodies, rejoice!
SeaWorld Orlando’s annual Seven Seas Food Festival returns in 2025 from February through May.
Sail through stations representing global cuisine and get a taste of cultures around the seven seas. This spring, SeaWorld’s incredible culinary team will prepare unique dishes from all over the world during one of the best outdoor festivals in Orlando.
The event promises hours of fun in the sun while sipping drinks, sampling amazing dishes, and enjoying live performances from some of the biggest names in music.
Details for the 2025 festival haven’t been released just yet, but here’s a recap of 2024’s highlights while we wait for more information.
International Cuisine
Explore some of the world’s most iconic flavors and spices at kiosks representing different countries throughout the park.
Sample sweet and savory dishes from countries like Greece, Morrocco, India, Italy, and Germany, just to name a few.
The Seven Seas Food Festival Culinary Marketplace features over 65 craft beers, more than 50 unique dishes, and 80 wines and cocktails.
While everything can be purchased a la carte, you can also buy a tasting lanyard in advance, allowing you food and drink samples at various kiosks throughout the park.
Last year’s menu included flavor-filled dishes like a Moroccan Grilled Lamb Chop served with garlic mashed potatoes and tzatziki sauce, Boudin Cajun Rice Balls with a remoulade sauce, and Pão de Queijo, a Brazilian cheese bread with guava dipping sauce.
Guests with a sweet tooth to satisfy will love desserts like the Caribbean rum cake, Italian cannoli, and cupcakes made with spirits like passion fruit liqueur and Grand Marnier.
In 2024, the Culinary Marketplace was open on Thursdays through Sundays from 11 a.m. until the park closes.
Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free dishes are available at select kiosks.
Specialty Drinks
A wide variety of cocktails, wine, and international and local craft beers await visitors looking to toast the day away.
Fans of frozen drinks can enjoy beverages like the Frozen Polynesian Summer made with Captain Morgan pineapple and coconut rums, pineapple, mango, and coconut. The Frozen Pitaya Punch at the Mexican Market is a returning favorite made with Bacardi Light Rum, triple sec, dragon fruit, cranberry, and lime.
The drink menu also features refreshing cocktails like the German Blood Orange Mule, Mediterranean sangria, Bailey’s Cold Brew, and a Watermelon Margarita.
Beer lovers will appreciate a list of curated brews from around the world, and wine enthusiasts can sip on glasses of sparkling wine, Sonoma Coast Chardonnay, rosé, and more.
The tasting lanyard includes drink samples, too, so if you’d rather enjoy tastings as you go, be sure to purchase one in advance.
Electrifying Concerts
In addition to edible attractions, the Seven Seas Food Festival also features exciting live music throughout the event.
Bayside Stadium hosts free concerts from some of the top rock, country, and Latin music artists each day of the festival.
While the 2025 lineup has yet to be released, 2024’s headliners included Ludacris, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Gavin DeGraw, Owl City, and more.
Seating at Bayside Stadium is first come first served, but guests can purchase reserved floor seating for select performances ahead of the event.
Concerts typically start in the evening, between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.
Festive Family Fun
The Seven Seas Food Festival is truly a family affair.
Children of all ages will have a blast at the festival’s interactive game and coloring stations and during the electric dance parties with costumed characters.
Since the event is included with SeaWorld Orlando admission, the whole family can enjoy the theme park’s year-round rides, attractions, and exciting wildlife.
