Pumpkins and Beer, All at the Same Place — No Park Reservations Needed!

If you've seen some of the food and beverage samples from this year's Craft Beer Festival at SeaWorld, Orlando but just wished the festival ran for a little longer — you're in luck!

In addition to this weekend, SeaWorld's Craft Beer Festival will continue to take place on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays until the end of October! That means starting September 18th — you can get all the best of SeaWorld's Spooktacular Halloween Celebrations (Saturday and Sundays only) and the Craft Beer Festival — all at once! Park reservations are no longer required at SeaWorld, Orlando — so you don't have to plan days in advance either (but masks are still recommended at indoor venues).

So what stuff is part of SeaWorld's Spooktacular Halloween Celebration? Spooktacular is the seasonal "Kids of All Ages" event that features Trick-or-Treat Trails, Dance Parties, and even a Count von Count Breakfast! And all of this is in addition to the Food and Craft Beer kiosks that will remain set up in another area of the park! Here's some additional details for this year's Spooktacular event…

One piece of bacon, two pieces of bacon, three pieces of bacon — oh sorry — I was thinking about that breakfast.

Now all of this (except for the breakfast) in included with park admission… and no reservations are required. Food and Beverage samples at the Craft Beer Festival are also purchased separately, but there's a Sampler Lanyard that makes that process more fun and easier on the wallet! You can read more about the Sampler Lanyard on any of our festival information pages.

The Spooktacular activities are taking place on Saturday and Sundays only between September 18 through October 31.
