• Summer season plays host to ever changing selection of tribute bands in the "Sounds Like Summer" Concert Series.
• During the week of July 4th Epcot's Own Voices of Liberty frequently give concerts on the American Gardens stage rather than in their usual home of the American Adventure Rotunda.
• Fall brings the International Food and Wine Festival and it's "Eat to the Beat" concert series, which gives a stage to popular musical performers from the 80's and 90's.
• During the holiday season, the theater hosts the Candlelight Processional. The show includes an orchestra and massed choir that perform traditional holiday songs while a guest celebrity retells the biblical story of Christmas.

Admission to the American Gardens Theater is included in your regular admission to Epcot. Some events are extremely popular and seating is difficult to get, while others don't draw as large of a crowd. It is not uncommon to need to queue up two hours before a scheduled concert for the more popular shows.
