Universal Orlando has been reopened since June but this weekend marked the return of nighttime entertainment. Cinematic Celebration returned for the first time this past Saturday. Universal extended park hours until 10:00 PM and this epic water, movie, and music show started at 9:45.

The finale of the show ended with fireworks. This is also a first for any theme park since they closed back in March.

If you’re wanting to watch this amazing Cinematic Celebration there will be a showing on October 31st. You can find show times on Universal’s website. The theme park has been hitting capacity on weekends so plan accordingly. Hopefully this means we will be able to see more nighttime entertainment from the parks. It would be amazing to get the Light at Hogwarts back.
