One thing that we LOVE about Disneyland is the fun after hours events (seriously, Disney World needs to get on board).
Our minds are still blown by the fact that we got to attend an event about ALL things Disney Channel — that’s our childhood, right there! But there are also Star Wars Nite, Pride Nite, and more. Well, now, it seems like Universal Hollywood is trying to get on the special after-hours event train. Universal is set to host its first EVER Fan Fest Nights SOON.
That’s right, Universal Hollywood is introducing its own after-hours event. For the first time ever, you’ll get to go to Universal Fan Fest Nights on select evenings at Universal Hollywood. The events are set to start in the spring of 2025. So, what exactly is Fan Fest Nights about? Well, Universal is calling it a celebration of the best sci-fi, fantasy, gaming, and anime fandoms. Okay, the nerds in us just went WOW.
Mario and Luigi
This all-new after hours events will bring fans into the worlds of Star Trek, Back to the Future, Dungeons & Dragons, and more with “immersive experiences, celebratory moments, themed food, and exclusive merchandise that takes fandom to a whole new level.” What can we say? Color us intrigued!

The official Star Trek website has a bit more information: “Universal Fan Fest Nights will be a limited-time, after-hours experience, exclusive to Universal Studios Hollywood that will showcase a dynamic line-up of captivating, immersive in-world experiences along with engaging celebratory activations throughout the theme park, from live entertainment to cosplay, inviting guests to embrace their favorite characters and share their enthusiasm with like-minded fans.”
Did you catch that? Cosplay? So this might be an event where you can dress up!
Universal also says its lineup is expanding with “more to be revealed.” Okay, now we’re REALLY curious. We expect to get more details soon, and when we do, we’ll be sure to fill you in! In the meantime, you can fulfill your gaming fantasy at Universal’s Super Nintendo World, which opened in 2023, which will take you into the world of Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Bowser, and more. We had a chance to visit when it first opened, and let’s just say, we felt powered up!
Stay tuned to DFB for more.
