🍽️ What Is the Seven Seas Food Festival?
The Seven Seas Food Festival is a seasonal culinary celebration at SeaWorld San Diego that invites guests to sip and sample their way around the world. Featuring a globally inspired menu created by Executive Chef Zuric Ramirez and his culinary team, this festival includes dishes and drinks from diverse regions like Latin America, the Caribbean, France, Tuscany, Asia, the Mediterranean and more.
This festival runs Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from February 27 to April 26, 2026, and General Park Admission includes access — no extra ticket required.
Food at Seven Seas isn’t your typical theme park fare — it’s crafted to take your palate on a world tour. Highlights include:
- International street food inspired by Latin America, Caribbean, France, Tuscany, Asia, Polynesia and more
- Bold flavor combinations and chef-designed dishes
- Craft beers, signature cocktails, and wines from around the globe
- Regional stations offering tastes of authentic cultural cuisine
Every menu is created from scratch to bring genuine tastes and culinary creativity to life.
🎟️ How to Taste It All: Samplers & Lanyards
To make the most of the experience, many guests purchase Seven Seas Food & Beverage Samplers — prepaid tasting cards that allow visitors to sample multiple food and drink items throughout the park. While exact pricing and offers can vary year-to-year, these samplers are a popular way to explore a wide variety of dishes without buying items à la carte.
Annual Pass Members may also receive exclusive sampler offers through the Pass Member Portal, making it even easier to dive into the global menu.
🎶 Live Entertainment & Cultural Performances
Food and drinks aren’t the only stars of the Seven Seas festival — live entertainment takes center stage, too! This year’s lineup includes:
- Cirque-style performers on the Parisian Stage
- Brazilian samba dancers and rhythmic cultural acts
- Dynamic K-Pop and DJ performances
- Polynesian dancers and fire shows
- Family-friendly character performances and interactive displays
- Educational live-animal presentations from Wildlife of the World
With multiple entertainment stages throughout the park, you’ll find music and cultural performances to enjoy between tastings.
🎤 Concert Series (New for 2026)
For the first time, the Seven Seas Food Festival also features a headline concert series — adding live music from nationally recognized artists right in the heart of SeaWorld:
- Fitz and the Tantrums – pop-soul favorites
- The Band Perry – country and pop energy
- Phillip Phillips – soulful vocals and folk-pop hits
(Plus additional surprise performances scheduled throughout the festival)
