Universal Fan Fest Nights debuted in the spring of 2025, all to give those who adore — like, really, really adore and even obsess over — particular pop culture properties the chance to costume-up and enter those worlds.
The theme park announced that the springtime celebration will return in 2026, with a bark-tastic bash on the backlot: A Scooby-Doo mash-up featuring none other than the Universal Monsters.
The Universal team will give some snacky insights into this inspired pairing at the Los Angeles Comic Con Sept. 27.
“The debut of our second annual Universal Fan Fest Nights event is just months away and Universal Studios Hollywood is knee-deep in its development, fine-tuning the very details that we know make a difference for fans,” said Scott Strobl, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Universal Studios Hollywood.
“We are passionate about creating a top-notch fan event for our guests and can’t wait to share how incredible year two will be.”
“As we prep for opening night on April 23, we are pleased to be able to offer presale tickets to our guests that include a very cool, complimentary Universal fan Fest Nights 2026 collectible medallion that we think will become another fan favorite.”
That pre-sale is happening now, through Dec. 17, so drive your Mystery Machine over to the Universal Fan Fest site and purchase your ticket.
