SeaWorld Orlando is going all out with its Seven Seas Food Festival this year, allowing locals and tourists to immerse themselves in an expansive culinary exploration from January 31 through May 4. Offering up a smorgasbord of nearly 200 food and drink choices, the festival is a passport to a world of flavors without the jet lag. ClickOrlando reported that voyagers can indulge in everything from Jamaican Jerk Chicken to a Cardamom Chocolate Torte Cake that promises your palate a harmonious balance of bittersweet ganache cake bliss.
Positively Osceola adds that aside from the 50 global cuisine choices, thrill-seekers can enjoy a roster of more than 75 wine and cocktail selections and 75 craft beers, transforming SeaWorld into an adult playground that even Dionysus would envy. With special celebrations dotting the festival, including Mardi Gras and Cinco de Mayo, guests will find many reasons to dance the day away, fueled by an eclectic mix of live music and nostalgic 90s hits. Just looking for some family-friendly fun? This event's got you covered.
Oh, and let's talk exclusivity. SeaWorld Orlando pass members get the VIP treatment, with the option to purchase an 18-sample lanyard for a mere $15, ensuring their taste buds are as thrilled as their wallets. For the non-card-carrying guests, a 10-sample lanyard will set you back $75, and the 15-sample option for $90, offering up a curated experience of food and drink combinations, according to ClickOrlando.
Let's not forget the stage set for headliners ranging from Boys Like Girls to Luis Fonsi. Speaking of, SeaWorld is making a splash this year, extending the festival's popular concert series to include select Friday night performances. This will aim to rock the marine park on more than just Saturdays and Sundays.
For those looking to pregame for the festivities, SeaWorld offers guests over 21 a complimentary beer per visit. It's available daily until January 31 at the Waterway Grill Patio—a perfect start to this festival of feasting and fun.
