Universal Studios Hollywood just dropped some huge news for fans – two brand-new themes are joining Fan Fest Nights in 2026: Scooby-Doo and Universal Monsters.
If you missed it earlier this year, Fan Fest Nights made its debut in 2025 as a separately ticketed, cosplay-style event that’s all about celebrating the movies and franchises you love.
It’s not your average theme park night – it’s fan-first, community-driven, and the perfect excuse to show off your best costume.
New Themes for 2026
- Scooby-Doo:
- Time to grab the Mystery Machine crew and get ready to unmask some monsters. Expect groovy vibes, retro-inspired fun, and maybe even a Scooby Snack or two.
- Universal Monsters:
- Dracula, Frankenstein, the Mummy, the Wolf Man – the icons are back and ready for their close-up. This is a dream come true for horror fans who love the classics.
When Is It Happening?
Fan Fest Nights will run on select dates from April 23 through May 16, 2026. Like last year, tickets are separate from regular park admission, so you’ll want to grab yours early once they go on sale.
Why Fans Love It
The best part about Fan Fest Nights is the energy. Everyone’s dressed up, snapping photos, quoting their favorite lines, and celebrating the franchises that shaped them.
Whether you’re there to trade cosplay tips, meet new friends, or just live out your fandom, it’s one of the most unique theme park events around.
Are you planning to dress up for Scooby-Doo, Universal Monsters, or both? I’ll definitely be checking out this year’s event – because nothing beats connecting with fans who love these worlds as much as you do.
