This year, Eat to the Beat is back and back with a variety of different dining packages to choose from.
In this post, we will go over all the everything that you will need to know if you’re considering doing an Eat to the Beat Dining package. From cost, restaurants, times, and more, we will cover it all. And if you are looking for information about the festival itself, then check out: EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival [2024].
What is Eat To The Beat?
During the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, there are also live concerts that take place on a nightly basis. The concerts help showcase local (Orlando area) artists, as well as many popular would-renowned artists!
Eat to the Beat can be a great way to see one of your favorite artists on a smaller scale setting!
Disney is also known for having some great dining packages during special events, which is where Eat to the Beat Dining Packages comes in!
Performance Dates
Eat to the Beat does performances every night at the Food & Wine Festival. This means you can catch nightly performances from August 30 through November 18!
Most artists (whether local artists or international) usually play for about 2 nights. During those 2 performing nights, there are 3 concerts per night as well, making it easier to catch a concert!
Concerts take place at 5:30 pm, 6:45 pm, and 8:00 pm. Each concert lasts about 30 minutes.
The complete Eat to the Beat Concert Lineup can be found in our Food & Wine Festival Guide.
Concerts Included with Eat to the Beat Dining Packages
Even though the Eat to the Beat concerts happen nightly, only select concerts are available through the Eat to the Beat Dining Packages.
The concerts that apply to the Eat to the Beat Dining packages, start on July 9th, and are the concerts that happen Friday to Monday nights throughout the rest of the festival.
