Regular visitors to the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival know it is actually the food, wine and music festival. The Eat to the Beat concerts at the America Garden Theater is a popular way to dance away the night with some of he best music from the the last few decades.
In 2016 there are eight new acts including Wang Chung, who will kick off the festival. Also first timers are BoDeans, Plain White T’s, Jeffrey Osborne, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Living Colour, Soul Asylum, and Delta Rae. Some fairly big names on that list, especially for someone who was in their 20s in the 1990s.
