Ignite the Night with Exciting Entertainment
SeaWorld Orlando’s Craft Beer Festival is happening at the same time as Summer Spectacular, SeaWorld’s signature summer night event. Guests can enjoy jaw-dropping animal encounters and attractions during day, then dance the night away to live music in Club SeaGlow. For a limited time, guests can even catch their favorite artists performing a free concert in the Nautilus Theater. Before concluding a day at the Craft Beer Festival, guests can raise a glass while watching firework and fountain spectacular “Ignite.”
