Visiting Central Florida and in the mood for some music this spring? The region's theme parks have you hooked up, with dozens of free big-name concerts for park ticket-holders in March, April, and May. And we have them all listed for you, in one place, so you can decide how to spend your evenings for the next three months.
The concerts are running as part of the four big spring festivals at the Orlando and Tampa theme parks: Walt Disney World's Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival, Universal's Mardi Gras at Universal Studios Florida, the SeaWorld Orlando Seven Seas Food Festival, and the Busch Gardens Tampa Food and Wine Festival. Busch Gardens also has a couple of extra events on our calendar, including one more Real Music, Real Masters series and the kick-off of the park's 60th anniversary celebration.
Each of these concerts is included with park admission, though certain annual passes might be blocked out. Disney offers reserved seating with dining packages and SeaWorld and Busch Gardens offer VIP seating for an upcharge. We will provide links to those below.
You can find the Epcot performances at the American Gardens Theatre, Universal's in the Music Plaza next to Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit, and SeaWorld's in Bayside Stadium. If you do not opt for a reserved seating deal, get there early, as space goes fast for popular acts.

Central Florida. Your home for live music!
As luck has it, I land on the 22nd of March and am going to see the mighty 3 Doors Down at Busch Gardens the day after. A real huge bonus to the holiday as I am a massive fan. Bring it on! "I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind........." Thinking about it, they should be at Epcot.
