The 2022 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival brought back one of its most anticipated entertainment offerings: the Eat to the Beat Concert Series. Known for blending live music with incredible festival energy, the concert series featured an exciting mix of internationally known performers and local Orlando talent. This year, the Baha Men opened the series with a high-energy performance, kicking things off in style! ๐ถ

If youโre unfamiliar with the Baha Men, theyโre best known for their global hit, โWho Let the Dogs Out?โ, which won a Grammy Award and became an anthem of the early 2000s. Their upbeat, Caribbean-influenced sound turned the American Gardens Theater into a lively dance party, with guests of all ages grooving to the rhythms.

The Return of Eat to the Beat
Eat to the Beat is more than just live musicโitโs an integral part of the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival experience. The 2022 concert series was back in full force, offering live performances on the America Gardens Theater stage every night throughout the festival. The lineup featured a blend of musical genres, including pop, rock, country, and Latin music.

Performances like the Baha Menโs reminded us how live music can elevate the festival atmosphere. Families, friends, and solo travelers stopped by to enjoy nostalgic hits while sampling festival dishes and soaking in the magical combination of music and global cuisine.
More Than a Concert
While Eat to the Beat delivers fantastic music, itโs also a great way to take a break from walking around the park and enjoy some free live entertainment included with park admission. The Baha Menโs lively set brought energy to kick off the festival season, setting the tone for weeks of unforgettable performances.
Pro tip: If you want to secure guaranteed seating, book an Eat to the Beat Dining Package. After enjoying a delicious meal at select Epcot restaurants, it offers reserved seating at the concert.
