EPCOT FOOD And WINE FESTIVAL
Where: Orlando, Florida – USA
When:  August 31 – November 13, 2017 (that’s 75 days!)

 

As a Pastry Chef, self-proclaimed ‘foodie,’ and lover of all things Disney there is nothing I look forward to more than The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. Although the dates vary slightly each year the festival typically runs from September to mid-November, which prompts my singing of ‘It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year’ a little earlier than most because, well, it is the most wonderful time of the year at Disney!

Apart from the 11 countries permanently represented in EPCOT’s World Showcase, the festival highlights food and beverage offerings from 19 other nations at themed stalls. In addition, they offer seminars and demonstrations from famous chefs, wine tastings, and even film ABC’s The CHEW on site.

Umhlanga Reed Dance

When: 29 Aug 2017 – 04 Sep 2017

 

The Umhlanga Reed Dance is a traditional dance and ceremony where up to 40 000 Swazi maidens gather and dance for the Queen Mother. This Swazi cultural event is performed as a  tribute to the Royal Family and dates back centuries in time. Taking place over a week, normally the last in August, it is largely private, however the final two public days (normally a Sunday and Monday) are a spectacle that is unrivalled in Africa today. Thousands upon thousands of maidens dress up in brightly coloured attires and sing, dance together as they deliver the reed or umlanga to the Royal Residence.  Their enjoyment of this ceremony is quite apparent as they use the opportunity of bonding with girls of similar ages from across the country.
