Lunar New Year Celebration and Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival Return in 2023 to Disney California Adventure Park
On November 21, 2022, Disney Parks Blog announced that the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival will be back in 2023 and run from Friday, March 3 to Tuesday, April 25, 2023. The 54-day festival will run for the same amount of time as the 2022 festival.
In its announcement, Disney teased the return of 12 festival marketplaces (the food booths), as well as speciality food and drink items throughout Disney California Adventure, Downtown Disney, and the hotels at the Disneyland Resort. In addition to the marketplaces, guests will be able to purchase tickets to attend Carthay Circle Winemaker Receptions, Trader Sam's Mixology Seminars, GCH Craftsman Grill mixology seminars, and a Grand Tasting event at the Disneyland Hotel. Wine, beer, and beverage seminars will also return in 2023.
Returning family entertainment will include Jammin' Chefs, Chef Goofy, and “Alice’s Wonderland Bakery Unbirthday Party” show. Guests will also be able to enjoy complimentary weekend culinary demonstrations, and artist events and signings.
Soarin' Over California will also return for the festival's duration.

I'm not sure when they added this to the Disneyland website, but Disney has already announced the 2023 marketplaces. It is the same lineup of marketplaces we saw in 2020 and 2022.
Following the quiet announcement of this year's booths, Disney quietly added the ticketed events to their website today. Thanks @evilmommie for calling it out in the thread!
