Disney’s Celebrate America! Independence Day Fireworks Offered for Entire Holiday Weekend in 2026
Disney has announced a number of celebrations for America’s 250th anniversary, including a new adventure for Soarin’ at Epcot set to debut in the summer of 2026. They also announced that the popular 4th of July Fireworks, Disney’s Celebrate America!–A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky, will be offered for all three nights of the holiday weekend in 2026. Here is the official statement from the Disney Parks Blog announcement.
Expanding beyond Independence Day, the beloved fireworks show “Disney’s Celebrate America! — A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky,” will play across all three nights of the holiday weekend, July 3 – 5, at both Disneyland and Magic Kingdom Park.
As you may know, the 4th of July fireworks at Magic Kingdom are typically offered on the night before and the night of Independence Day. Therefore in 2026, guests will have an extra opportunity to see them on the 5th as well!
This announcement comes as part of a special celebration of our nation’s 250th anniversary called Disney’s Celebrating America. The initiative will kick off on Veterans Day in 2025 and continue through July 4, 2026.
