Fan-Favorite, Limited-Time Festivals Return to the Disneyland Resort in 2022: Lunar New Year and Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival
On December 2, 2021, Disney Parks Blog announced that the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival will be back in 2022 and run from Friday, March 4 to Tuesday, April 26, 2022. The 53-day festival is the same amount of time the 2020 festival was scheduled to run.
Disney promised a return of festival favorites such as a dozen food marketplaces (aka booths), the Sip and Savor Pass, culinary demonstrations, live musical performances, Carthay Circle Winemaker Receptions, and Wine, Beer and Mixology Education & Tasting Seminars.
The 2020 Food & Wine Festival only ran for 16 days before the parks closed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. A modified festival, A Touch of Disney, ran briefly in Spring 2021 before the parks were able to reopen in May 2021.
February 7, 2022
We haven't received very much information on this year's F&W Festival since it was announced over two months ago. With the Lunar New Year celebration coming to a close on February 14, I'm optimistic that we will get additional details released soon.
But today we did get one nugget from Disney Parks Blog: Disneyland's "Celebrate Soulfully" campaign that celebrates Black culture will continue through this year's F&W Festival.
February 9, 2022
Thanks to DIS Board members who are also Disney Rewards Visa members, we know a few of the marketplaces and food items that will be at the F&W Festival this year. In a recent mailer to Disney Visa members, they highlighted some of the tasty treats we can expect this year.
After weeks of waiting, Disney announced almost all the details for the upcoming DCA Food & Wine festival today.
Festival Marketplaces
A total of 12 marketplaces will be popping up for the festival, all of which are returning from previous years. This is one less than the festival in 2020. The marketplaces are:
Disney chefs, visiting chefs, and festival sponsors will be providing culinary demonstrations on Saturdays and Sundays throughout the festival. These free demonstrations will be held at the stage in Hollywood Land. Chefs include:
The festival will include programming that appeals the entire family, including:
