SeaWorld San Diego’s Largest Food And Drink Festival Returns

SeaWorld San Diego’s Seven Seas Food Festival returns March 4 where guests can set sail for international cuisines, amazing beverage tastings and live music performances every Friday, Saturday and Sunday through May 1.


With the most expansive beverage menu ever and more than 150 fresh flavors, guests will sip and sample their way around a world of flavors and unique recipes to pair with countless craft beers, cocktails, and wine selections. The park has new and refreshed locations to drink and dine at including a beautiful waterfront spot with outstanding views of Mission Bay and iconic Southern California sunsets. No festival is complete without live entertainment and each weekend will be filled with a variety of music selections from multiple stages throughout the park.

SoCal Pass

To get the most out of Seven Seas Food Festival and all SeaWorld has to offer, SeaWorld has brought back the popular SoCal Pass for only $10 per month for a limited time. Guests will receive unlimited admission for 12 months* and discounted parking, plus three free bonus food samples to use through May 1. SoCal Pass Members will also receive early access to floorless coaster thrills on the all-new Emperor Dive Coaster, the tallest, fastest, and longest dive coaster in the state and one of the highest anticipated coasters in 2022 by USA Today, starting on March 2 before the ride opens to the public on March 12!

Most Expansive Beverage Menu Ever and More than 150 Fresh Flavors

In addition to the amazing food, this year’s festival includes SeaWorld’s most expansive beverage menu ever with more than 50 specially curated cocktails and wines, and over 50 craft beers from San Diego and beyond. Explore an array of festival marketplaces and stages including a variety of new dishes:

Indulge in exciting options from south of the border at the all-new Mexican Flavors: Three new taco options to choose from – carnitas, braised beef, and vegan-friendly chipotle portabella. Finish the meal with the NEW and scrumptious Churro Cheesecake.

Delight your palate with exquisite offerings at Tuscan Flavors: From fried ravioli with pesto sauce to a charcuterie board filled with marinated olives, a variety of meats and breadsticks, this stop is complete with a cool down option of tiramisu ice cream.

Brats, beers, and bites await you at the all-new German Flavors: Choose between two NEW Bratwurst Sliders, a choice of the standard or go spicy with a smoked jalapeno cheddar, both served with onion, peppers, and spicy brown mustard. Finish the meal and add-on warm pretzel bites with beer cheese sauce.

Enjoy spice and deep flavors with an ALL-NEW Asian menu: Choose from chicken or vegetable options of hibachi lo mein, pork or vegetable gyozas, or an ALL-NEW bulgogi bowl, and pair any entrée with the NEW spiked Thai iced tea.

Enjoy hops and drops with Emperor Hazy IPA: In celebration of SeaWorld’s upcoming Emperor coaster, the park partnered with local brewer, Mike Hess Brewing, to create a limited release IPA inspired by the ride. The all-new limited release beer is exclusively sold at SeaWorld San Diego and will be available to enjoy throughout Seven Seas Food Festival.
