Walt Disney World hosts Hispanic heritage programme in October

Walt Disney World and Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month are sharing the resort’s autumn programme in Orlando from 15 September to 15 October 2026. The celebration, titled Together We Are Magia, brings cultural food, music, art and character appearances into the theme parks.
Hispanic Heritage Month continues through 15 October
The programme is an ongoing event during the current travel window, with its closing date set for 15 October 2026. Walt Disney World describes it as a celebration of Hispanic and Latin American cultures, with activities spread across the resort rather than confined to a single venue. The official calendar lists the programme as included with admission.
Visitors can find Hispanic and Latin American flavours in the theme parks, an art exhibit celebrating Dia de los Muertos and appearances by characters from Encanto and Coco. The programme also includes music by Hispanic artists at EPCOT’s Eat to the Beat Concert Series. The official event calendar places these elements within the resort’s autumn schedule.
Walt Disney World links the programme to EPCOT music
EPCOT is the clearest fixed-date location within the celebration. Disney Parks Blog lists Latin Ambition from 15 to 17 September, Grupo Mania on 20 and 21 September, and Metro Latino Band from 22 to 24 September 2026. The remaining announced performances are Rey Ruiz on 5 and 6 October and Viva Latina from 9 to 11 October.
That schedule gives the wider resort programme a series of specific musical dates inside its 15 September to 15 October period. It also connects the cultural celebration with EPCOT’s broader International Food and Wine Festival, which runs from 27 August to 21 November 2026. Together, the music, food and art elements give visitors several distinct ways to encounter the programme across the resort. The published concert dates identify the performers and their performance windows.
Orlando resort offers several cultural settings
Walt Disney World Resort is in the Orlando area and contains four main theme parks, including EPCOT, Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. The heritage programme’s wording refers to the theme parks and the resort, while the concert series is specifically associated with EPCOT.
The programme is therefore different from a single-stage festival. A visitor may encounter food and art in one setting, characters from Encanto and Coco in another, and live Latin music at EPCOT on selected dates. This distribution across the resort is the practical link between the event’s broad cultural theme and the individual places named by Disney.
