Universal’s 4th of July is about to get EPIC!

We, my friends, have fireworks

As Universal’s new theme park enters its first summer season, Epic Universe seems prepped to ring in its inaugural Independence Day with a BANG!

Early in the afternoon of July 4th, Universal announced through their app that the park will be presenting a July 4th Evening Celebration at 9:00 PM.

While little information is provided within the app, the attached image as well as location on the park map, likely indicate a fireworks and perhaps a drone show similar to the display that coincided with the park’s official opening to the public back in May.

The show will join CineSational at Universal Studios Florida as Universal’s evening entertainment spectaculars on the holiday, though there is no mention of any special 4th of July elements being added to CinSational.

Meanwhile, Walt Disney World will be offering Disney’s Celebrate America! – A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky fireworks show at the Magic Kingdom at 9:20 PM, and the Heartbeat of Freedom holiday tag will run at 9:15 PM at EPCOT following the 9:00 Luminous The Symphony of Us.

The sky just lights up with this show

Epic Universe’s first 4th of July set to culminate with an EXPLOSIVE finale. Stay tuned to DFB for more.
