Universal Studios Hollywood is going all out for America’s 250th birthday.
Universal Studios Hollywood has officially announced special entertainment, patriotic décor, and a brand-new fireworks spectacular as part of its celebration of America’s 250th Anniversary.
The limited-time festivities will take place on July 3 and July 4, 2026, giving guests two opportunities to celebrate the historic milestone while enjoying a day in the park.
According to Universal Studios Hollywood, the celebration will feature a new fireworks show created specifically for the holiday festivities.
While additional details about the nighttime spectacular have not yet been announced, the fireworks display is expected to serve as the centerpiece of the park’s Fourth of July celebration.
The announcement marks one of the few times Universal Studios Hollywood has promoted a dedicated Independence Day fireworks offering of this scale.
Live Entertainment and Patriotic Décor
In addition to the new fireworks show, guests can enjoy live fife and drum performances throughout the park during the two-day celebration.
Universal also confirmed that festive patriotic décor will be installed around the park, helping transform Universal Studios Hollywood for the anniversary event.
The entertainment lineup is designed to commemorate the nation’s 250th anniversary, also known as the United States Semiquincentennial, which marks 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
Included With Park Admission
One of the biggest details for guests planning a visit is that all of the special entertainment offerings will be included with regular theme park admission.
That means visitors will be able to enjoy the fireworks, live performances, and holiday atmosphere without purchasing a separate event ticket.
With summer crowds already expected at Universal Studios Hollywood, the Fourth of July weekend could become one of the most popular times to visit the park this year.

Whether you’re planning to spend the day with dinosaurs, wizards, Minions, or Transformers, you’ll also have the opportunity to cap off your visit with a special Fourth of July celebration.
