Six Flags Great Adventure has three summer 2026 events lined up for Jackson, New Jersey, starting with Boardwalk Nights on June 19.

Six Flags Great Adventure promoted the lineup Thursday afternoon after opening Shoreline Pier earlier this week. The dates cover a Boardwalk event, a two-night July fireworks program, and an August DC character event.

Boardwalk Nights Follows Shoreline Pier Opening

Boardwalk Nights is the closest tie to the park's 2026 Boardwalk work. Six Flags Great Adventure opened Shoreline Pier earlier this week, and the after-dark event gives that area a summer entertainment schedule just weeks after the refreshed ride lineup opened.

Star-Spangled Nights is the park's July 4 weekend fireworks event. DC Heroes and Villains Fest follows in August with character appearances and live entertainment.
