The 2022 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival is in full swing!
2022 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
Food and Wine may be in the festival’s name, but there are a lot of things to do aside from eating and drinking! There’s tons of new merchandise, a scavenger hunt, a cheese crawl, and lots of entertainment — including the return of the Eat to the Beat Concert Series.
So let’s take a look at ALL the entertainment this year’s festival is offering.
Let’s start with the Eat to the Beat concert series, which is returning to the festival for the first time since 2019. This concert series brings in a host of performers from the past and present to entertain guests during the festival. Expect to see Boyz II Men, Taylor Dayne, Hanson, and more throughout the festival. Be sure to check out the full schedule here! Concerts are performed at the America Gardens Theater at the American Adventure pavilion.

Aside from the Eat to the Beat concerts, many of the pavilions around World Showcase (and the rest of EPCOT) offer entertainment throughout the day.
Like with previous festivals, the JAMMitors will be out banging their drums for guests and entertaining them in a way only they can. We’ve seen them over in the World Discovery neighborhood, by the Connections Cafe and Eatery and Club Cool! You can catch these guys making their trash can beats about once per hour.

Over on the Canada Mill Stage, you can catch Alberta Bound, a Canadian band! They perform regularly in the Canada pavilion and during their performance, you can see traditional fiddling and songs written by Canadian songwriters.

You’ll also be able to watch the Voices of Liberty inside the American Adventure Pavilion — they perform daily there! The group sings a capella, and you’ll hear familiar American ballads, along with a few Disney ones, as well! Showtimes can be found in My Disney Experience.

Other entertainment available during the festival includes Mariachi Cobre, which is a mariachi group that you can see performing in the Mexico pavilion. They perform traditional folk music from a town called Jalisco, Mexico. You can check their showtimes in My Disney Experience.

Atlas Fusion is performing over in the Morocco Pavilion, as well! They perform about once per hour many days — you can check My Disney Experience to see their exact showtimes.

Over in the Japan pavilion, we saw the iconic Matsuriza drummers! They were playing their massive drums in the shade of one of the buildings in the pavilion. This entertainment offering is not exclusive to the Food and Wine Festival, and you can catch these drummers most days about once per hour.

Mo Rockin is not currently at that stage. Atlas Fusion is the name of the current band in Morocco.
You left out Groovin’ Alps at the Germany Pavilion. They have really upped their performance since the last time they appeared.
