Spaceship Earth Lights Up in Red, White, & Blue for 4th of July Weekend

Spaceship Earth is dressed up for the Fourth of July, as hues of red, white, and blue emanate throughout EPCOT to celebrate Independence Day.

Fourth of July Colors on Spaceship Earth

Spaceship Earth, both an attraction and the primary icon (or weenie) of EPCOT, is adorned with countless LED “Points of Light,” which made their debut in 2021. Both bright and customizable, these lights can be used for all kinds of occasions and special nighttime presentations.

Most recently, a newly-arranged Spectacle of Light show debuted during the 2023 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival, incorporating music from “Encanto.” We have a full video available below:
