We’re just weeks away from the launch of EPCOT’s 2026 International Festival of the Holidays, which begins on Black Friday, November 27th, and includes one of Disney World’s most beloved holiday traditions: The Candlelight Processional.
This nightly offering is a longtime Disney tradition that got its start at Disneyland decades ago and has been a part of Disney World since the resort’s first Christmas season. It features celebrity narrators reading the Biblical Christmas story, joined by a 51-piece orchestra, the Voices of Liberty, and a choir of more than 150 Disney Cast Members and community singers. While every night of the event tends to draw large crowds, several narrators in 2026 are sure to pack them in even tighter than usual!
