One of the most highly-anticipated holiday events at Walt Disney World each year is the Candlelight Processional which takes place at Epcot’s America Gardens Theater in the World Showcase. The popular series took a COVID hiatus in 202o, but it is back in 2021. Here are all the details:
What is Epcot’s Candlelight Processional?
The Candlelight Processional presents the traditional story of Christmas in truly spectacular fashion – with a 50-piece orchestra, a massed choir and a celebrity narrator. It is a tradition that dates back to 1958 in Disneyland Park. It has occurred at Epcot every year (except 2020) since 1994 and was a park staple at the Magic Kingdom from 1971- 1993.
