SEVEN SEAS FOOD FESTIVAL: Internationally-inspired food takes center stage at SeaWorld® San Diego’s Seven Seas Food Festival kicking off May 7.
Guests will be able to explore and celebrate culinary creations created by SeaWorld’s Executive Chef, Axel Dirolf. Local craft beer and California wine are perfectly paired with fresh and bold culinary creations, which feature local, sustainable ingredients and unique signature flavors from around the world. Throughout the park visitors will embark on a global foodie voyage without leaving San Diego enjoying diverse flavors from Nuevo Baja, South America, Asia, France, Mediterranean and the Caribbean.
New to this year’s food festival will be the Polynesia and Coca-Cola flavors. Each culinary area features architectural facades that will immerse festival-goers into the cultural landscape of each region.
Guests will embrace the island-inspired tastes and aromas at the all-new Polynesian Flavors area. This tropical paradise experience will also be complemented with icy mai tais and piña coladas from the new Tiki bar as well as handcrafted ales and lagers at the Maui Brewing Co. beer cart.
Immersive entertainment including high-energy hula and haka performances will have guests dancing with the aloha spirit. Fire dancers will sizzle out the evening and leave guests alight in amazement with blazing performances showing twice nightly.
