Seven Seas Food Festival 2017

[WAJAS]

The acts aren't too appealing, but I really like the good food options they're going to have. You'll notice they kept many of the food options from Viva La Musica and Band, Brew, and BBQ for this event, and they brought back the Latin bands at the end of the event from Viva La Musica.

Agreed the food preview pics look amazing.

Looks awesome

Shame Seaworld is listed as closing 6/7 on these nights though...I think it would have been great going into the night. Do Seaworld ever extend their hours?

They normally only close around that time during these festivals. They're mostly daytime excursions. I think hours go up to 8 in April and 9 in late May. They go up to 10 during June and July.

Heading there for most of May and from what I can see it's only around Memorial Day weekend where it's open past sunset, as you said.

Desperate to ride the coasters in the dark (minus Kraken by the looks of it)

The food is AMAZING! I got to try some of it tonight and everything was really good. The setup is all the way around the lake with booths scattered in little areas off the path. They added a lot of standing tables and seating areas alongside them as well (more than EPCOT offers). The booths are simple with a cash register area and then a little shelter for the cooking area. Even the dishes and glasses they are serving in a really impressive. I think this will be a big winner for them, it's just too bad it's only happening on Saturdays and only after noon.

They're making the festival daily through the end of the event starting today, which reminds me of the Mardi Gras this year. No new concerts will be added.

Seems like this event must be pretty successful to make it everyday. I wonder if we see an increase in year over year attendance for Q1 thanks to this.

EDIT: It's actually just through April 16th.

So for all of Spring Break weeks they'll have to food booths open. Cool, the food is good and portions are decent.

Hey peeps,
we're off to Orlando beginning of May and are planning on going to the Seven Seas Festival on the last day, May 13th. Just checked out the music act BUT somehow on the last day there isn't any... up until a few days ago it said "to be announced"... not it is gone and the last concert is on May 6th.
Does anyone know why? Will the festival finish early?

I assume they simply won't have an act, but the rest of the festival will still occur if they already advertised it and didn't make an announcement saying otherwise.

Ah ok. Thanks for the reply.

There's still entertainment and stuff to do specific to the festival even if there's no concert going on, and it may mean the park is less crowded without a big name act playing.
