The 2022 Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival has kicked off and we’re here checking everything out!

California Adventure Food & Wine Festival

We’ve tried some awesome food, like the IPA Sausage Dog, Elote Pretzel, and Carbonara-Garlic Mac and Cheese. There also is a ton of new merchandise at this year’s festival, like a special Spirit Jersey! But, Food and Wine is also home to some great entertainment offerings, so let’s check out ALL of the entertainment at this year’s festival!

Music

Live music is at Food and Wine Festival this year! Look out for some fun performances on the Palisades Stage, featuring bands such as The Filharmonic, Midnight Hour, Phat Cat Swinger, and The Tina Aldana Band. 

Entertainment at Food and Wine

There will also be performances at the Paradise Garden Bandstand, including the Island Reggae Band and Urban Music Society.

The Jammin’ Chefs are also returning to the festival this year, and they have a few Disney pals with them!

We’re jammin’ with the Jammin’ Chefs!

Pluto, Daisy, and Chip & Dale boogied to the beat of the Jammin’ Chefs, but we must say that miss Daisy Duck stole the show. Her dance moves were AMAZING!

It was a good time!

You can check the Disneyland app for exact showtimes!

Characters

Chef Goofy is making appearances at the Hollywood Backlot, so pop on over and say hi!

What’s cookin’, Goofy?

He’s serving some fun poses along with some interesting foods!

Family-Friendly Activities

If you have kiddos that want something else to do during the festival, you can check out Alice’s Wonderland Bakery Unbirthday Party! It’s for kids ages 3-11 and is inspired by Disney Junior’s new animated series Alice’s Wonderland Bakery!

Alice’s Unbirthday Party

This is a cupcake decorating experience that features special guest chefs at the Hollywood Backlot Stage in Hollywood Land. Rolly Pin is the live host, and Alice, along with Princess Rosa, will be joining as well! During our visit, Chef Minnie came out to help!

Participant sign-ups begin 45 minutes before each showtime. You can find the daily showtimes on the Disneyland App. Keep in mind that participation is limited to the first 32 kids per show to sign up.

This is great for kids!

That’s ALL of the entertainment you can enjoy at this year’s Food and Wine Festival! It will be going on at Disney California Adventure through April 26th, so make sure to stop on by if you want to check out any of these performers. And, stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news and updates!
