Summer 2026 Entertainment Lineup

[Mushroom]

The app updated yesterday to include Ignite the Night (previously every other show was listed in map view except for this). Interesting to note that the location on the map it was assigned is in candy apple grove near Victorias.

Could be a placeholder location, or a glitch, but if this is in fact the best viewing area of the show, it could either be that the drones/fireworks are the direction of the waterpark, or more likely the direction of the ET with drones flying over the backstage/employee area behind first aid/Action Theater. Either way it’d be surprising if they didn’t want to gravitate guests towards istreet for the show, especially given the night time show on the main stage and the investment they put into istreet’s lights and speaker system.

In other news, Ignite the Night is now listed on the website as an event (and not just live entertainment, similar to the Splash Parade)

Candy Apple Grove near the Drop Tower is where they’ve recommended viewing the fireworks from in past seasons, so it sounds like they’re using the same playbook this time around.

Candy Apple Grove near the Drop Tower is where they’ve recommended viewing the fireworks from in past seasons, so it sounds like they’re using the same playbook this time around.

I just assumed there would be minimal fireworks in this show and it would mostly be drones and ET lights. This doesn’t confirm I’m wrong, but perhaps a stronger chance there will be a modest firework inclusion. I wonder if the wood clearing in Pantherian’s infield really DOES have to do with the show after all (needing a drone launch site?)

In other news and perhaps related, KD updated the website to include a THIRD Star Spangled night of July 3rd to the 5th (originally just the 4th and 5th).
