A Night of Fandom AwaitsUniversal Studios Hollywood has aimed for the stars this year with their new Universal Fan Fest Nights and we have a full look at everything going on for this inaugural year. This is an unprecedented theme park event that layers the full park experience with an incredible amount of entertainment, experiences, dining, and shopping opportunities celebrating a wide range of fandoms.Universal Fan Fest Nights is a new after-hours, extra-charge event offering a wide-ranging mix of fun experiences including sci-fi, fantasy, gaming, and anime. Unlike  Disneyland’s singular-themed “Nite” events, this offering takes a more expansive “buffet-style” approach, similar to Halloween Horror Nights, where ALL experiences are available EACH event night — so there’s no need to choose between them!There’s live entertainment, photo ops, and a welcoming atmosphere for cosplay which is not typically allowed during the day. Of course, there’s exciting themed dining menus, exclusive new merchandise, and more surprises! Let’s dive in!There are SEVEN immersive activations inspired by fan-favorite IPs including  Back to the Future: Destination Hill Valley immersive experience, Star Trek: Red Alert walkthrough experience, DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: Secrets of Waterdeep walkthrough experience, One Piece: Grand Pirate Gathering area with meet and greet, Jujutsu Kaisen: Hunger of the Cursed4D video presentation, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter extras including magical creatures, and SUPER NINTENDO WORLD: Let’s Go, Yoshi with a Yoshi egg scavenger hunt and Yoshi meet and greet.
