SeaWorld Orlando launches an expanded version of its Viva La Musica concert series and festival this weekend with Sunday performances by Sergio Vargas.
The Latin music performances will be spread over the five Sundays in June. Other scheduled artists include Proyecto Uno (June 9), Tony Vega (June 16), Milly Quezada (June 24) and Jon Secada (June 30). The concerts, included with regular SeaWorld admission, are inside the park’s 2000-seat Nautilus Theater at 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. each day.
These are the sole live music concerts at Orlando theme parks this summer until SeaWorld’s Bands, Brew & BBQ starts July 6, and then Eat to the Beat kicks in with the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival at Walt Disney World on Aug. 29. Artists have not been announced for either of those events.
SeaWorld’s Viva La Musica also features Latin cuisine sold at food and drink huts. New offerings for 2024 include steak pinchos, guava and queso empanada, arroz con pollo, seafood paella, quesito and flan. A tequila testing from 21Seeds returns this year, too.
Viva La Musica overlaps with other SeaWorld offerings tied to the company’s 60th anniversary. The concerts share space with “Xceleration,” a cirque-style stage show with dance, acrobatics and stunt performers; a street parade called “So Much More to Sea”; Club SeaGlow dance party; a free-beer promotion; and “Ignite” fireworks.
The schedule is fluid. Double check times and dates at seaworldorlando.com or the theme park’s official app.
