Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival Kicks Off Today

The Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival Officially Starts Today

The Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival is officially back! Running from March 6 through April 27, 2026, this fan-favorite event transforms the park into a vibrant celebration of California’s incredible flavors, creativity, and cultural diversity.

Between the live entertainment and the sunset vibes, guests can explore eight themed marketplaces serving up a curated mix of brand-new culinary creations and those “must-have” returning classics.

The diverse festival menu is an attraction on its own, with more than 80 food and beverage items at Disney California Adventure Park featuring small plates, craft beer and specialty wines inspired by California’s bounty of offerings. Among the new selections at the festival are:

• Carbonara pizzetta from LA Style: served with white sauce, Nueske’s® applewood smoked bacon and black pepper drizzle

• Chicharrón nachos from California Craft Brews: chicharrón topped with chorizo, cheese sauce, tomatoes and salsa verde

• Ramen mac & cheese from Peppers Cali-Ente: served with furikake crumble, fish cakes, green onions and chile crunch

• Pork chile verde chalupas from Paradise Garden Grill: two chalupas filled with pork in salsa verde, shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, and queso fresco served with Spanish rice and refried beans topped with queso fresco

• Pandan latte churro from Terran Treats: classic churro rolled in coffee sugar, topped with pandan whipped cream and toasted coconut shavings

Guests planning to sample multiple festival menu items can save with the purchase of a scannable Sip and Savor Pass, which comes in four-coupon and eight-coupon options.

Each digital coupon can be redeemed for a select food item or nonalcoholic beverage at festival marketplaces or participating dining locations at Disney California Adventure Park. The Sip and Savor Pass can be shared among friends and family or used over multiple visits to this year’s Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival.

The dishes at the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival are accompanied by a lineup of entertainment and limited-time experiences:

• Soarin’ Over California, the beloved favorite attraction returned on Feb. 6, transporting guests through the Golden State’s wondrous landscapes on an aerial adventure.

• Daily entertainment includes “Cookin’ with the Jammin’ Chefs” and live musical performances at the Paradise Gardens Bandstand. On select days, guests can enjoy “Confection Purrfection with the SuperKitties,” an interactive show inspired by the Disney Jr. Series, and band performances at the Palisades Stage.

• Celebrity chefs such as Jet Tila, Wing Lam, Duff Goldman, Disneyland Resort chefs and other talent lead culinary demonstrations at the Hollywood Backlot Stage on Saturday and Sundays during the festival.

• This year’s festival merchandise collection includes apparel, home décor and trading pins available at Festival Gifts, Elias & Co. and Studio Store at Disney California Adventure Park, plus Acorns Gifts & Goods at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa.

No Disney Festival would be complete without special merchandise to take home! The Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival features special items from Minnie ears to spirit jerseys to pins and more!
