STAR TREK

“Star Trek” fans, your moment has arrived! The iconic science-fiction franchise and pop cultural tentpole will be featured at the inaugural Universal Fan Fest Nights.

Are you ready to boldly go where no one has gone before? 

BACK TO THE FUTURE

The ‘80s blockbuster was shot in part on the Universal backlot, so of course we’re going to celebrate it at Fan Fest Nights. “Back to the Future” sparked one of the most successful trilogies in film history, won an Academy Award, and has inspired countless last-minute costumes for people with red puffer vests in their closets. Get excited to look your McFlyest. 

DUNGEONS & DRAGONS 

Get your 20-sided dice ready, because your Dungeons & Dragons fantasies are about to come to life! The World’s Greatest Role-Playing Game is a full-blown cultural phenomenon, so of course it’s coming to Universal Fan Fest Nights. An epic adventure full of fighters, wizards, monsters and treasures await you at Universal Studios Hollywood. 

According to Discover Universal Blog, this isn’t all and the “lineup is expanding, so more will be revealed soon.”
