Universal Parks announced their plans to celebrate the 4th of July at Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando.

Universal Studios Hollywood

Universal Studios Hollywood celebrates the 4th of July by extending its Independence Day festivities throughout the weekend from Saturday, July 2 – Monday, July 4, featuring nightly fireworks displays, live music performances, specially themed décor, and more, all included in the price of admission to the theme park.

From the moment guests walk along the iconic red carpet and enter the theme park, they will be immersed in July 4th festivities from themed décor to the sounds of a fife and drum band. Then, beginning nightly at 9:00 p.m., an elaborate fireworks display will splash across the sky, synchronized to a score of Universal-themed music and patriotic favorites from two locations inside of the theme park.

Universal Orlando Resort

Universal Orlando will feature special entertainment at Universal Studios Florida on July 4 to celebrate Independence Day, including a high-energy band, live DJ, meet & greets with Universal’s most popular characters, and patriotic-themed performers and stilt walkers. The activities are included with admission to Universal Studios Florida.

The festivities will kick off on Monday, July 4 at 5 p.m. and run through park close at the Music Plaza, which will be decked out in festive décor and all things red, white, and blue.

The celebration will culminate with a special fireworks display at 9 p.m. which guests can view throughout the theme park.
