Universal Hollywood is bringing back its popular Fan Fest Nights in 2026 with a new line-up of fandoms! The first to be announced is Scooby-Doo x Universal Monsters in an all-new Universal Backlot experience. This is the first time guests will be able to see and interact with this iconic mash-up of characters. We can only hope it’s as immersive as the Back to the Future: Destination Hill Valley backlot experience from the 2025 Fan Fest Nights.
Fan Fest Nights is a specially ticketed event at Universal Hollywood where guests can celebrate a wide-range of fandoms including exclusive character meet and greets, immersive walkthrough experiences, special menu items, limited edition merchandise, and a plethora of photo ops.
Fan Fest Nights is offered on select dates April 23 – May 16, 2026 with prices ranging from $74 to $84 per ticket. You can also purchase the Ultimate Fandom Pass which includes admission to every 2026 Fan Fest Nights for $249 per person. You can purchase your pre-sale tickets NOW (including the Ultimate Fandom Pass) PLUS you’ll receive a free collectible medallion. Contact your Dreams Unlimited Travel Agent to get your Fan Fest Nights and Universal Hollywood tickets purchased TODAY!
We had a great time last year during Universal Hollywood’s first-ever Fan Fest Nights! The event combined incredible theming with a wide-range of fandoms. Best of all, we so enjoyed the fan-involvement including costumes rivaling any expo-type event. It almost felt like a not-scary Halloween Horror Nights… in the best way possible! In particular, being able to step-off the famous Backlot Tram and onto the lot was beyond memorable. We can only assume 2026 will bring an even bigger Fan Fest Nights to Universal Hollywood!
