In February, Disneyland typically hosts a multi-weekend festival to celebrate Black History Month, Celebrate Gospel. This year, the gospel celebration continues, but the event will be larger than ever, with an expanded lineup and new name: Celebrate Soulfully.

The gospel performances will take place across two weekends in Downtown Disney: February 20-21 and February 27-28, led by artist Hezekiah Walker.
Additionally, many characters will have increased meet and greet opportunities throughout the month:
- Princess Tiana
- Black Panther
- The Dora Milaje
- Monica Rambeau
And of course, don’t miss the Five & Dime performances on Buena Vista Street, and Joe Gardner from Soul performing in the Pixar Place Hotel.
