This annual event celebrates the diverse and delicious cuisine of California, featuring a variety of food and beverage offerings from the state’s renowned chefs, wineries, and breweries.

The festival, now in its 15th year, is a must-visit for foodies and Disney enthusiasts alike. With over a dozen marketplaces scattered throughout the park, guests can indulge in a wide array of dishes and drinks inspired by the Golden State. From fresh seafood to mouth-watering desserts, there is something for every taste bud at this festival.

One of the highlights of the festival is the “Festival Marketplaces”, where guests can sample a variety of small plates, each with its own unique twist on California cuisine. Some of the must-try dishes include the Avocado Time Marketplace’s avocado toast with smoked salmon and the Golden Dreams Marketplace’s Anaheim Chile Relleno Bites. And for those with a sweet tooth, the Nuts About Cheese Marketplace offers a delicious selection of artisanal cheeses paired with local honey and dried fruit.

But the festival is not just about food. It also celebrates the rich wine and craft beer culture of California. The festival’s “Beverage Seminars” offer guests the opportunity to learn about the different types of wine and beer produced in California, as well as how to pair them with food. And for those who want to take their experience to the next level, the “Winemaker Receptions” allow guests to meet and mingle with some of California’s top winemakers while enjoying a selection of their finest wines.

In addition to the food and beverage offerings, the festival also features live entertainment, cooking demonstrations, and interactive experiences.
