Walt Disney World Resort is continuing Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month in Orlando through 15 October 2026. The resort's programme combines live performances, Hispanic and Latin American food, art and character appearances across its theme parks.
Heritage month brings music and art to the parks
Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month runs from 15 September to 15 October 2026. The operator lists the programme as included with admission and presents it as a celebration of Hispanic and Latin American cultures.
Visitors can find Hispanic and Latin American flavours in the theme parks, an art exhibit celebrating Dia de los Muertos and appearances by characters from Encanto and Coco. The programme also connects with the Eat to the Beat Concert Series at EPCOT, where music from Hispanic artists forms one of the event's central elements. The celebration programme lists the dates and activities.
Walt Disney World Resort links EPCOT music with the wider celebration
The programme is spread across the resort rather than confined to one attraction. Its food, art and character elements give the heritage month a presence in the theme parks, while EPCOT supplies a dedicated setting for the concert strand.
According to the operator's programme, the remaining October music dates include Rey Ruiz from 5 to 6 October and Viva Latina from 9 to 11 October 2026. Those performances place the event inside the final third of its run, so travellers visiting Orlando after the opening weeks can still encounter scheduled Hispanic music at EPCOT.
The wider setting is a large Central Florida resort rather than a single urban museum or concert hall. It includes Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park and Disney's Hollywood Studios, giving the programme several distinct visitor environments. A Central Florida resort report places the complex in the Orlando area.
