2026 EPCOT Candlelight Processional Celebrity Narrators Lineup
Something so magical is the voices from the Candlelight Processional. The Candlelight Processional has long established itself as a beloved tradition of the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays presented by AdventHealth and we are in for it. Celebrating 32 years at EPCOT, it offers magnificent music and a moving retelling of the Christmas story.
Each year, the America Gardens Theatre ushers in the spirit of the holidays with a 51-piece orchestra, the renowned Voices of Liberty, a celebrity narrator, and a choir of more than 150 Disney cast members and community singers.
