2023 Theme Park Concerts

As the theme parks have been announcing their concert lineups for different events, I have been writing the bands I want to see on my calendar. Then it occurred to me that there are so many, and many of them on the same dates. I thought perhaps it would be helpful if I put them all on a calendar so everyone could figure out which they want to attend. Even though some concerts happened in January, I’m starting the calendar in February because so many announcements were made and I didn’t think of it in January.

In Tampa we’ve got concerts for The Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Food & Wine Festival and their Real Music Series. In Orlando we have the SeaWorld Seven Seas Food Festival concerts, Universal Orlando’s Mardi Gras concerts, and the Garden Rocks concerts at the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. That’s a whole lot of live music!

Some of the concerts still haven’t been announced, so I will be sure to update the calendars when they are, so check back often. I’ve entered them using a different color for each park and put a key at the bottom of each month. Busch Gardens is green, SeaWorld is blue, Universal is red, and EPCOT is purple.
