The Seven Seas Food Festival is back at SeaWorld Orlando starting this weekend, and 2026 is shaping up to be its biggest year yet. If you love mixing theme park days with live music and adventurous food, this seasonal favorite once again delivers a little bit of everything — and then some.
Running on select dates from January 31 through May 17, the Seven Seas Food Festival brings together international cuisine, specialty drinks, and more than 30 full-length live concerts, all included with park admission. This year, SeaWorld Orlando is leaning all the way in, promising the strongest concert lineup the park has ever hosted as part of the festival.
According to Jon Peterson, Park President of SeaWorld Orlando, this year’s lineup is all about variety and value. With chart-topping artists, throwback favorites, and performers spanning multiple generations, the goal is simple: deliver one of the best entertainment values in Central Florida — without the need for a separate concert ticket.
The festival kicks off in a big way on January 31 with Flo Rida, setting the tone for a season packed with high-energy performances. From there, the lineup stretches across decades and genres, including pop, hip-hop, rap, country, classic rock, alternative, punk, Christian, and Latin music. Whether your playlist leans 90s nostalgia, classic rock, or modern hits, there’s something here for just about everyone.
Beyond the music, the Seven Seas Food Festival remains SeaWorld Orlando’s signature culinary event. Guests can explore more than 25 international food and beverage marketplaces inspired by cultures from around the world. The menu rotates throughout the season, with limited-time offerings and new dishes introduced on different weekends, making repeat visits especially rewarding.
All concerts take place at Bayside Stadium at 7 p.m. and are free with park admission. For guests who want a more premium experience, Reserved Seating is available in three tiers, offering designated seating closer to the stage. Availability varies by performance, so planning ahead is key.
Here’s a look at the full concert lineup announced so far.
