DCA Food & Wine 2026
2026 is not announced. Everything below is either the pattern or the last confirmed cycle, labeled as such — see the main DCA Food & Wine page for how the event works.
Last confirmed cycle · Checked July 2026
2026 cycle. The festival ran its usual window at Disney California Adventure with the established marketplace format. We have not re-verified the 2026 marketplace roster, menu, or signature event lineup item by item against a primary source, which is why the food list on this page is labeled as illustrative of the format rather than presented as a current menu.
What is different in 2026
- The festival ran its usual late-winter to late-April window across Disney California Adventure with the established spread of marketplaces around the park.
- Marketplace pricing stayed inside the $6 to $15 band that has held across recent cycles at this park, with flights priced above it.
- Ticketed signature events again sold out ahead of the festival opening rather than during the run.
How the event works
This part does not change year to year, so it is kept in one place.
The pattern
- Typically starts
- late February or early March
- Typically ends
- late April
- Nights
- ~60 (50–70)
- Nights of the week
- Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun
- Hours
- Every operating day in the window. Marketplaces open late morning and close before the park does, and the free culinary demonstrations run on select days rather than daily.
