SeaWorld Orlando reveals menus, concert lineup for Seven Seas Food Festival 2023
Seven Seas Food Festival returns Feb. 3 – May 7, 2023, at SeaWorld Orlando. The event will feature unique food and drinks from around the world, plus a full calendar of concerts.
SeaWorld describes Seven Seas Food Festival as “Orlando’s largest theme park food festival.” The event, which runs Thursdays through Sundays, will boast over 200 specialty food items and drinks, including international cuisine from countries like Italy, Ireland, Brazil, Germany, and others.
The festival operates during the park’s regular hours and provides guests with a perfect opportunity to squeeze in rides on Ice Breaker or take a peek at construction for Pipeline, the surf coaster opening this spring, in between food stops.
To get the most out of their visit, guests can purchase a tasting lanyard. A 10-sample lanyard costs $70, a savings of 40% compared to buying food and drinks individually. A 15-sample lanyard goes for $85, a savings of 50%. SeaWorld Orlando passholders can purchase 18 samples for the price of 15.
