what is the candlelight processional at epcot

The Candlelight Processional is a holiday celebration that takes place at Epcot in Walt Disney World Resort. It is a retelling of the story of Christmas by a celebrity narrator with music sung by a mass choir and performed by a 50-piece live orchestra. The event is held every year at Epcot during the Epcot International Festival of the Holidays, which also includes the World Showcase Storytellers and Holiday Kitchen food booths. The Candlelight Processional performances are held in the America Gardens Theatre across from the American Adventure in World Showcase. The event is included in the admission to Epcot, but there is typically a dining package available for purchase that includes a ticket to reserved seating for the Candlelight Processional. The dining package typically includes lunch or dinner at a select Epcot restaurant, plus guaranteed general seating at the America Gardens Theatre during the Candlelight Processional. The event is held from November 24 to December 30, 2023.
