We had an exclusive chance to taste some of the delicious food that will be available at this year’s Viva la Música festival!

What is it, you may ask? The festival is a fiery, crazy celebration that runs on Saturdays; April 16 and 23, as well as May 7 and 14. The best part: it’s totally included with park admission. Viva la Música activities begin at 12 p.m. each Saturday at the Bayside pathway, with concerts starting at 3 p.m. at Bayside Stadium.

SeaWorld’s Executive Chef Hector Colon will be back in action cooking up some incredible, authentic cuisine to accompany the live concerts and splashing good times that only the aquatic wonderland can provide. Here’s a little bit of information about what you can expect from the festival:
