Universal Fan Fest Nights Returning
The landing page for the event says, “The adventure continues Spring 2026.” The event’s Instagram page also says, “The fandom continues Spring 2026.”
Universal has not announced what fandoms will be represented at the 2026 version of the event, but the description still says Fan Fest Nights is “where Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Anime, and Gaming collide in one epic after-hours celebration, every event night.”
During the inaugural event, we stepped into “Back to the Future”, met magical creatures in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and battled Xanathar the Beholder in a Dungeons & Dragons experience. Guests are encouraged to wear costumes.
The event also celebrated ONE PIECE and Jujutsu Kaisen with experiences, food, and merchandise. Elphaba and Glinda from “Wicked” met guests. Guests could visit the bridge of the Enterprise for a “Star Trek” experience.
At Super Nintendo World, Yoshi met for the first time in North America, there was a special Yoshi egg hunt with access to an exclusive Blue or Pink Yoshi meet and greet, and new Yoshi Merchandise was available.
