If you are heading to SeaWorld (on Saturday) or Busch Gardens (on Sunday) any weekend through May 6th, you are in for a treat. Viva La Música returns this year offering live performances from award-winning Latin artists, popular regional Latin cuisine and authentic arts and crafts. All concerts are free with admission, however, if you want VIP tickets or reserved seating, both are available online and in the park.

If you purchase a 2012 Busch Gardens Tampa Bay & SeaWorld Orlando Fun Card you’ll be able to enjoy Viva la Música at both parks. The fiesta begins at noon with concerts starting at 3:00 p.m. Here is the entertainment lineup for both parks:

SeaWorld (Saturdays):
April 14: Elvis Crespo
April 21: Grupo Niche
April 28: RKM & Ken-Y
May 5: Gilberto Santa Rosa

Busch Gardens (Sundays):
April 15: Victor Manuelle
April 22: Grupo Mania
April 29: Dyland y Lenny
May 6: Jerry Rivera

If you’re visiting Busch Gardens and looking for a great place to continue the fiesta, be sure to have dinner after the show at La Teresita. The Capdevila family founded La Teresita Restaurant in 1972 and this restaurant has become a major landmark in the Tampa Bay area, known for its authentic Cuban Spanish dishes and great prices. La Teresita has received many awards including “Best Cuban Sandwich,” “Best Latin Restaurant” and “Tampa’s Best Kept Secret” by  various organizations.

If you are visiting SeaWorld, you might as well eat dinner at the park during or after the show! Enjoy savory Latin cuisine prepared by SeaWorld Orlando’s own Executive Chef, Héctor Colón. Lechón, arroz con gandules y pasteles, arroz con pollo, habichuelas rojas y maduros, mofongo con carne frita, alcapurrias and bacalaítos are just some of the items available during Viva la Música.

Enjoy hot Latin concerts for an incredible day full of music during Viva la Música. For more information visit either SeaWorld or Busch Gardens websites.

After a hot day of Latin music and Florida sunshine, we’d like to invite you to our air conditioned theater at Capone’s Dinner & Show. If the afternoon concert left you wanting more, you’ll find it at our 1930’s prohibition style dinner show. You’ll find MORE food at our delicious buffet, MORE beverages (than any selection at other shows) MORE music (our singers are outstanding), MORE dancing, MORE fun, MORE comedy and the best part is – our show will not cost you MORE than the other Orlando dinner shows when you purchase your tickets at half price online. Come in for some cool entertainment and join ‘the family’ at Capone’s Dinner & Show!
