While we won't have a dedicated July 4th Activity this year at Universal Orlando, guests will be able to enjoy incredible experiences, including our nighttime shows like The Nighttime Lights at Hogwarts Castle.
"Guests can now enjoy The Nighttime Lights at Hogwarts Castle in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade. The show runs daily - approximately every 20 minutes from dusk to park close. Guests should enter The Wizarding World of Harry Potter through the main Hogsmeade entrance next to the Hogwarts Express to experience the show."
