Flag waving act cancelled in Epcot’s Italy Pavilion

By Leah Zanolla | Published October 13, 2016

The flag waving act in Epcot’s Italy Pavilion will no longer be performing. Sbandieratori Di Sansepolcro began performing at Epcot in October 2014, using hand-painted flags, period costumes and live music to entertain the crowd with their choreographed flag-throwing. This kind of flag waving is a 500-year tradition in Italy.

No reason was given for the removal, but in the past couple of years, Epcot has been changing up the entertainment in the pavilions, not keeping many of the acts for very long. A replacement act has not been announced.

Leah grew up in a little farming town in Illinois, right on the Mississippi River. Her Chicago-born husband, David, left the city for her, and they're now raising their three children (Jacob, Jonah and Lydia) just 12 miles from her hometown. As the Senior Editor of the DIS (wdwinfo.com), Leah spends a lot of time writing about, reading about, and discussing Disney. So, it should come as no surprise that one of her family's favorite ways to spend time is going to Walt Disney World and traveling on Disney Cruise Line. She also enjoys shopping, watching movies with her husband and doing crafts with and for her kids.
