Since SeaWorld Seven Seas Food Festival started a few years ago it’s been a hit with its unique food, drinks, and concerts.

Here’s why Orlando loves SeaWorld’s Seven Seas Food Festival.

1.    Party every Weekend

The food festival starts this year every weekend from February 4 to May 8, 2022, so get your tickets early because it’s one of the top festivals in Orlando. Want to celebrate an extra-long weekend? Seven Seas Food Festival runs from Thursday through Sunday.

2.    This reason is in the name Seven Seas Food Festival

Of course, the food is why we love this festival so much.

The food at SeaWorld Seven Seas Food Festival is right up there in quality as EPCOT’S Food and Wine Festival. This year there will be a wide variety of outdoor markets. Check out the full list below. Some of the exciting dishes we’re looking forward to tasting include crispy Florida Cracked Conch, five-spice duck lettuce wraps, cheddar hush puppies, crispy pork belly bites, and fried oysters.

3.    The Drinks

Not only are there unique foods, but there’s a variety of different drinks including some amazing “adult” drinks.

At the festival, there are 75+ brews and 75+ wines, seltzers, and cocktails. Last year there were delicious concoctions like the sweet Frozen Mudslide and other cocktails. If cocktails aren’t your style, there are craft brews and a variety of wines available around the park.

4.    The Lanyard Sampler

The lanyard sampler gives anyone a nice bang for the buck.

It allows you to try different foods and drink at a great cost. For the $60 lanyard sampler, it allows you to try 10 samples and 15 for the $75 lanyard sampler. If you want the best bang, use the sampler punches for mainly food.

5.    The Music & Dance Parties

During SeaWorld’s Seven Seas Food Festival, there will be nighttime concerts at the Bayside Stadium.

This year there will be 28 headline acts. Sit back and relax to all types of genres of music. This year’s artists include Vanilla Ice, Justin Moore, Molly Hatchet, LOCASH, Everclear, Flo Rida, several tribute artists, and more to come.

Live concert audio plays in select areas around the park, so, you get to eat, drink, and jam.

During the day, there will be live DJs, local bands, and performers throughout the park as well.

Last year, there was a small stage for performances in front of the Shark Encounter and there was a dance party in front of the Wild Arctic. On special days like Mardi Gras or Cinco de Mayo, there will be even more entertainment.

6.    The Animals, of course!

Aside from the rides, SeaWorld is known for its animal encounters.

While you’re enjoying a weekend of food, drink, and music, book a tour to learn more about how SeaWorld trainers care for the animals at the park. Learn about orcas, penguins, and a variety of sea life. Visit SeaWorld’s impressive aquariums.

Maybe also take the time to learn how SeaWorld Orlando is working hard to keep Florida manatees safe.
