Last confirmed cycle · Checked July 2026

2026 cycle. The festival ran its usual mid-January to mid-February window at Disney California Adventure. We have not re-verified the 2026 marketplace roster or menu item by item against a primary source, which is why the food list on this page is labeled as illustrative of the format rather than presented as a current menu.

What is different in 2026

  • The festival ran its usual window in Paradise Gardens Park with the established marketplace format and Mulan's Lunar New Year Procession.
  • Marketplace pricing stayed inside the $6 to $15 band that has held across recent cycles at this park.
  • The festival again ran entirely within Disney California Adventure, with no Disneyland Park component.

This part does not change year to year, so it is kept in one place.

Every operating day in the window. Marketplaces open late morning and close before the park does, and the procession runs a handful of times a day rather than continuously.
