2025 is shaping up to be a BANGER of a year for Universal Orlando. Of course, there’s the brand-new Epic Universe theme park opening in May, but that’s not all.
Universal just revealed the dates for Halloween Horror Nights, and Holidays at Universal, and announced an all-new event: Volcano Bay Nights. Let’s get into all the details!
Universal Orlando just announced its lineup for seasonal events and exciting experiences coming in 2025 and we can’t wait to experience them all! Check out what’s coming up throughout Universal Orlando this year below.
Universal Mardi Gras: International Flavors of Carnaval begins February 1st through March 30th and is all about dining on international cuisine from across the globe, watching a spectacular parade with dazzling floats, and enjoying live concerts from some of the biggest names in music – from T-Pain to Joe Jonas and more.
Halloween Horror Nights is returning earlier than ever before on select nights, beginning August 29th through November 2nd. Get ready for terrifying haunted houses inspired by cinematic greats and eerie original stories, sinister scare zones, live entertainment, exclusive merchandise, and themed food and beverage items at this epic Halloween event.
The Holidays at Universal begin on November 21st and run through December 31st. This is where you can celebrate the most wonderful time of the year with festive experiences like the awe-inspiring Christmas in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and a chance to meet the Grinch during Grinchmas.
Not only that, but on select nights in April and May, a brand-new event will begin. Get ready for the all-new Universal Volcano Bay Nights! This exciting new event will take place on April 19th and 26th and on May 3rd, 10th, and 17th, and Universal says that more details are coming soon.
Celebrate the return of Butterbeer Season, which will kick off on March 1st and continue through May 31st, which gives you the chance to try Butterbeer in all-new ways within The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – from sweet treats to themed merchandise and more. Additionally, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will once again celebrate Back to Hogwarts this fall, but we’ll get more details on that later!
We can’t wait for more details to be revealed about these 2025 events coming to Universal Orlando! In the meantime, make sure you stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for the latest Universal, Epic Universe, Disney World, and theme park news.
