Tonight, July 7, 2026, Universal Celestial Goodnight officially debuts at Universal Epic Universe, bringing a brand-new nighttime spectacular to Celestial Park. The show will run nightly at park close, giving guests one final burst of music, lights, fountains, and fireworks before heading home with their camera rolls full and their step counts heroic.
And this is not a tiny little “thanks for coming” moment. Universal Celestial Goodnight features nearly 600 synchronized light fixtures, more than 350 massive fountains, seven million LED lights, and a high-energy soundtrack designed to celebrate the adventures waiting inside Epic Universe’s portals.
The show pulls inspiration from across the park, including the colorful chaos of SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, the dragon-filled skies of How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, the wizarding wonder of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, and the spooky legends of Dark Universe. It all builds toward a fireworks finale, because sometimes the only correct way to end a theme park day is for the sky to absolutely show off.
But Universal is not stopping there…
This fall, Epic Universe will also host a new after-hours event called Universal Nights, taking place on Saturday, October 3 and Saturday, October 17. The limited-capacity event will let guests enjoy the park after dark from 9:00 p.m. to midnight, with access to attractions, entertainment, character moments, and complimentary specialty snacks and beverages.
Even better, event guests can enter as early as 7:00 p.m., which means they can catch Universal Celestial Goodnight before the after-hours party officially begins. Tickets for Universal Nights go on sale August 13, starting at $179.99 per person plus tax. More details are expected soon, but for now, it sounds like Epic Universe is preparing to make fall nights feel a little more electric.
Between a nightly fountain-and-fireworks spectacular and a new after-hours event under the stars, Universal Epic Universe is making one thing clear: the adventure does not have to end when the sun goes down!
