Season’s Greetings!

At Epcot®, the magic of the holiday season comes to life with an assortment of fun activities and festive entertainment. Holidays Around The World returns to our theme park from November 27 through December 30.

To help you plan your visit, please use this Festival Guide so that you can experience all that Epcot® has to offer. Guests will be amazed by our colorful decorations, diverse storytelling and spectacular shows, as we transform World Showcase into a splendor of international holiday traditions.

A highlight of the festival is the Candlelight Processional, a tradition at Epcot® that features an incredible musical performance featuring a mass choir and live orchestra. The beloved story of the holidays is shared by celebrity narrators, and the processional is performed each evening at America Gardens Theatre.

The evening concludes with our award-winning nighttime spectacular, IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth, which you can experience anywhere along World Showcase lagoon.

On behalf of the entire Epcot® team, happy holidays and may all of your dreams come true.
