Fridays through Sundays, the parade will run twice nightly at 8:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. It will perform at just 8:30 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays. Excluding special events, it will run seven days a week.

Paint the Night Electrical Parade premiered at Disneyland Park in 2015 for the resort’s 60th anniversary. It was based on a parade that premiered at Hong Kong Disneyland in 2014 and ended in 2020.

Paint the Night’s original Disneyland run ended in 2017 but it performed at Disney California Adventure throughout 2018. It returned with some updates in May 2025 for the park’s 70th anniversary.

In September 2025, the Little Mermaid float caught fire along the parade route and forced an evacuation. Nobody was hurt and an oddly truncated second performance of the parade still occurred.
