Festival of Holidays has a lot more music this year than one stage can hold. The celebration at Disney California Adventure has 23 different acts rotating across three stages from November 13, 2026, through January 6, 2027, with one act playing each stage every day.

Disney Festival of Holidays runs Nov. 13, 2026 – Jan. 6, 2027 at Disney California Adventure. 23 acts rotate across three stages, with one act on each stage every day.
Schedule from Disneyland App and Disneyland site as of Nov. 13, 2026. Appearances subject to change.
The Three Stages
Two of the stages are in Hollywood Land. The Hollywood Backlot Stage hosts the largest lineup, with nine acts across the festival. The Hollywood Lounge Stage, in front of Stage 12 in the Hollywood Land backlot, has seven acts.
The third, the Paradise Garden Bandstand, is in Paradise Gardens Park and also rotates through seven acts. That puts it right by the festival’s other big draws, including Mirabel’s Gifts of the Season and the Viva Navidad celebration.
What Kind Of Music To Expect
The lineup spans the cultural traditions Festival of Holidays is built around. The acts pictured in the schedule include a polka-style band in lederhosen with an accordion and a tuba, a big band in holiday suits, dancers in bright yellow skirts holding up red patterned panels, a guitar-and-vocals trio, and solo singers on the festival’s colorful stages.
Because each stage has its own rotation, the act you see depends on the day you visit. The posted schedule lists every performance date for all three stages, and it’s worth checking before you go if there’s a specific group you want to catch. Appearances are subject to change, and the Disneyland app has the day’s showtimes.
With nine acts on the Hollywood Backlot Stage and seven on each of the other two, some groups only play a handful of dates over the eight-week run. If you visit more than once this season, you may see an entirely different lineup on each trip.
