Walt Disney World has added showtimes for its 2026 Fourth of July fireworks weekend, with patriotic nighttime entertainment now listed for Magic Kingdom and EPCOT across July 3, 4, and 5.

WDW News Today reported the updated schedule from Disney's published calendar. At Magic Kingdom, "Disney's Celebrate America! A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky" is listed for 9 p.m. on all three nights. Happily Ever After is not scheduled on those dates.

At EPCOT, "Luminous The Symphony of Us" is listed for 9 p.m., followed by the "Heartbeat of Freedom" patriotic tag at 9:15 p.m. The same pattern is listed for July 3, July 4, and July 5.

Three-night schedule

The dates match Disney's broader America 250 celebration plan. The Walt Disney Company previously said "Disney's Celebrate America" would run across all three nights of the July 4 weekend at both Disneyland and Magic Kingdom Park, with a special evening fireworks broadcast from Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort.

The holiday-night lineup runs July 3, July 4, and July 5.
