Big news for your next Orlando trip! Ever since Universal Epic Universe opened its gates in May 2025, fans have been waiting for a signature nighttime show… and it's finally here. Starting July 7, 2026, Universal Orlando's newest park debuts "Universal Celestial Goodnight," its first-ever nighttime spectacular with fireworks. And it runs EVERY night! Here's everything you need to know.


What Is "Universal Celestial Goodnight"?

It's a large-scale nighttime show that transforms all of Celestial Park — the heart of the park — into a magical stage. This isn't a show in a single spot: the entire world lights up and comes alive around you. The production combines:

  • 🎆 A grand fireworks finale lighting up the sky

  • 💦 More than 350 larger-than-life dancing fountains

  • 💡 Nearly 600 synchronized light fixtures and 7 million LED lights embedded throughout Celestial Park

  • 🎵 An original, high-energy musical score that syncs every effect

Everything is choreographed to pay tribute to the worlds and characters you explored throughout the day. A perfect, emotional way to close out your time in the park.


Key Details to Know

  • When: nightly, starting July 7, 2026, generally at park close.

  • Where: in Celestial Park, the central hub of Epic Universe.

  • How much? The show is included with your park admission — no extra cost.

  • Important tip: showtimes vary based on park hours. Always confirm in the official Universal Orlando app on the day of your visit.


A Show That Surrounds You Completely

What makes "Celestial Goodnight" special is that the fireworks, lights, and fountains surround you, pulsing toward the center of the park. Instead of watching from afar, you feel like part of the atmosphere. It's exactly the kind of shared, screen-free moment that turns a good park day into a memory your family will retell for years.


What Else Is There at Epic Universe?

If it's your first time, Epic Universe is laid out like a wheel: from Celestial Park, you access four fully immersive worlds through themed portals. Each has its own story, dining, and headline attraction:

  • Celestial Park 🌙 — The central hub, with gardens, fountains, restaurants, and the dual-launch coaster Stardust Racers (62 mph and 133 feet tall).

  • Super Nintendo World ⚡ — The world of Mario and Donkey Kong, with interactive attractions and the Power-Up Band. The most popular — arrive early.

  • The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic 🪄 — Set in magical 1920s Paris, home to one of the most advanced dark rides ever built.

  • How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk 🐉 — The adventure of Hiccup and Toothless, with a boat ride, a family coaster, and a live show featuring a life-sized dragon.

  • Dark Universe 🧛 — Universal's classic monsters in the park's scariest attraction.
