The 2024 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays presented by AdventHealth begins on November 29 and runs through December 30.
With your ticket to EPCOT, check out the top three must-see holiday entertainment highlights of the festival.
Around the World Stories
Holiday Storytellers are back and stationed around World Showcase to bring stories to life. The Norway pavilion is where you will meet the mischievous Barn Santa, always good for a great laugh. Or, lend your ear to the tale of La Befana in Italy, who visits on the Eve of the Epiphany. Plan to view the Lunar New Year with a Chinese Lion Dance display, or discover traditions of Hanukkah located between Morocco and France. EPCOT is the place to be to observe each culture’s way of celebrating the holidays.
Jam at JOYFUL! A Celebration of the Season in an All-New Location
Joyful! A Celebration of the Season will be performing four times a day bringing holiday cheer to their new location at CommuniCore Plaza. Experience the joy of the season in uplifting Gospel, R&B, and holiday songs. Don’t miss a chance to catch a performance!
Hear Tidings of Comfort and Joy with the Candlelight Processional
