A celebrity narrator will retell the Biblical Christmas story, backed by Voices of Liberty, a mass choir, and a 50 piece orchestra. It’s a moving experience, no matter what your beliefs are.

The Candlelight Processional takes place three times each evening, weather permitting. Shows are held at 5:00, 6:45, and 8:15. Epcot closes at 9:30 during the Epcot International Festival of the Holidays, so you can watch the 8:15 Candlelight Processional and still catch Luminous.
Because of its popularity, seats for the Candlelight Processional can be coveted. If you plan to go standby, give yourself plenty of time, and then add a little bit more. If standby isn’t your thing, Dining Packages will go on sale on October 14.
