Theme Park Food Events and Festivals: Current, Upcoming, and Holiday Guides (2026)

Here’s a master list of all theme park festivals around the United States for 2026. As new festivals, events, and recommendations are announced, this page will expand to include robust festival guides with TPB ratings on must-eats, skips, and of course, menus and pricing.

Here’s How to Use This Page

This is a calendar-first hub. As such, you’ll find the calendar filled with information for the upcoming season – the current month and the month thereafter. For example: if we’re in the month of October, you’ll find Halloween and fall events alongside upcoming holiday events mainly geared toward Christmas in upcoming November.

The calendar is searchable via text input (e.g., you may be seeking a festival in Ohio, you can search up any parks in that state by typing in the state’s abbreviation (OH) or the name of the park), by selecting the available parks on the dropdown or by Brand/Operator (i.e., Disney, Herschend, Six Flags, etc.).

Pro-tip: use the calendar to add events to your Google or Apple calendars directly from this page.

This page is separated into three sections: This Month’s Standout Festivals, Current and Upcoming Theme Park Food Festivals, and Explore More.

• Standout Festivals have four rotating festivals that our team believes is worth your time.
• Current and Upcoming Festivals include calendar information regarding festivals around the United States that may, or may not, be of interest to you. These festivals are based on whatever month we’re in and the upcoming month and are under accordions in case you need to quickly peruse rather than use the calendar.
• Explore More is all for festival guides and any available food reviews to help you make better decisions regarding how and where to spend your money.

PARK-SPECIFIC PICKS

Think of this as your park-hopping foodie trail. While the top of the page covers the big picture festival season, here we zoom into the parks themselves – the flavors, vibes, and the events that make each park shine. We’ll only be featuring our favorites here.

If you’re looking for a specific park’s events you can find that information under their respective theme park page.

See All

Whether you’re chasing churros around Disneyland or sipping cocktails at EPCOT, festivals are one of the best ways to taste what a park does best.

We’ve shared our personal top picks above, but don’t stop there – use these guides across the site to map out your own must-eat festival list. Every park has its own gems, and you deserve to find yours.
