The Disneyland Resort’s Halloween season is in full swing, with the sold out Oogie Boogie Bash drawing visitors dressed in their best costumes. But many visitors are already looking ahead to the resort’s next big party: the Festival of the Holidays!

From November 8 to January 6, Paradise Gardens Park will once again transform into a holiday wonderland, celebrating Christmas (& Navidad), Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Diwali. Visitors have the chance to explore exclusive pop-up dining spots, with themed food & drinks from around the world. Called the Festive Foods Marketplace, this unique dining experience typically opens around lunchtime each day, staying open until shortly before World of Color performances.

Between food stands, visitors will also find pop up stations with face painting, crafts, games, and activities tailored to little ones.

And the highlight of the Festival is always the entertainment. Disney typically doesn’t release the lineup until shortly before the Festival launches, but the list almost always includes:
- Viva Navidad parade featuring Princess Elena of Avalor
- Mariachi band
- A Capella performers
- Diwali dancers
- Klezmer band
- Meet & greet with Santa Claus
