The inaugural Fan Fest Nights in 2025 proved to be a hit with immersive walk-throughs, themed zones, backlot parties, and unique meet-and-greets that celebrated all corners of pop culture. From cosplay-worthy dining to limited-edition merch, it set itself apart as a fan convention that feels right at home inside a working movie studio.
Tickets are already on sale with two options available:
- General Admission for one selected date
- Ultimate Fandom Pass, which grants entry to all event nights
Guests who purchase during the presale period will also receive a collectible medallion — a must-have badge of honor for any self-proclaimed superfan.
The first big reveal for 2026 is a mash-up that sounds straight out of a fan’s dream journal: Scooby-Doo x Universal Monsters. This new experience will unfold on the iconic Universal Studios backlot, where the Mystery Inc. gang will collide with classic Universal creatures in a mystery-filled adventure. Will Scooby and the gang unmask Dracula? Catch Frankenstein lurking around? Fans will have to wait until the event to see which masks get pulled off.

Universal has promised more announcements as the event draws closer, but just like last year, all fandoms will be celebrated every single night. That means whether you’re team anime, team gaming, or team monster movie, you won’t miss out no matter which night you attend. Pre-sale tickets are available now!
With cosplay, meet-and-greets, immersive experiences, and the chance to party where Hollywood history was made, Fan Fest Nights 2026 is shaping up to be another can’t-miss event for anyone who wears their fandom proudly.
