Mariachi Cobre
Mariachi Cobre will be performing at EPCOT on select days and times during the month-long celebration starting September 15th! It will be a limited-time experience and you might even seen a familiar face during the performance. I’m guessing maybe Miguel from Coco? We’ll have to wait and see!

Life imitates arte
The Disney Springs’ Art Walk will have a new mural addition featuring motifs live-painted by Nicole Salgar, a Miami-based artist that depicts her Latin roots in all her work. Her murals challenge viewers’ perspectives with an emphasis on experimentation thanks to her passion for sci-fi and folk art.
Over at Animal Kingdom, you can learn how to draw Dante from Coco and meet Hispanic Pixar animator Ana Ramirez at The Animation Experience at Conservation Station!
Also, you can stop by Art of Disney at EPCOT, where paintings, limited-edition prints, figurines, and more will be available. These will have Artist Spotlights highlighting work created by Hispanic or Latin American artists. Some of the artists this year include Pixar talent Gaston Ugarte, Ana Lacaze, and Luis Uribe.
¡Qué viva la música!
Of course there’s going to be some exciting music! Three iconic Latin artists as well as a Latin local Orlando band will be performing during EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival at the America Gardens Theatre stage. Here’s the lineup:
- Luis Figueroa – Sept. 27th
- Mau Y Ricky – Sept. 28th-29th
- Jesse & Joy – Sept. 30th
