Disneyland Resort hasn’t had a lot of their regular nighttime entertainment available since the the parks shut down back in 2020.

Mickey’s Mix Magic fireworks did come back to Disneyland Park in the summer of 2021, but classic shows like Fantasmic! have remained temporarily closed. Disney had previously announced that more nighttime entertainment would be coming back to Disneyland Resort, but we didn’t get details on exactly when that was happening…until NOW! We know when A TON of nighttime entertainment is returning to Disneyland Resort!

Main Street Electrical Parade and the Disneyland Forever fireworks will return to Disneyland Park and World of Color will return to California Adventure Park on April 22nd, 2022! Then, Fantasmic! will return to Disneyland Park on May 28th, 2022!

But, that’s not all! When it returns, Main Street Electrical Parade will be celebrating its 50th anniversary, so in honor of the milestone, exciting new elements will be introduced to the parade that will continue to evolve this beloved spectacular. Main Street Electrical Parade will return with an all-new, enchanted grand finale that celebrates the theme of togetherness!

This universal theme is reflected in the creative concept of the grand finale sequence. Inspired by both the original design of classic Main Street Electrical Parade floats and Disney Legend Mary Blair’s iconic art style on “it’s a small world,” the new grand finale brings to life more than a dozen Disney Animation and Pixar stories. These stories will be interpreted in thousands of sparkling lights and electro-synthe-magnetic musical sound, with unique representations of beloved characters as animated dolls.

As the new grand finale passes by, guests along each side of the parade route will see a different set of stylized scenes from classic and contemporary favorite stories such as Encanto, The Jungle Book, Raya and the Last Dragon, Aladdin, Coco, Mulan, Brave, The Princess and the Frog, and more. Check out one of the early pieces of concept art, featuring Mirabel and Antonio from Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Academy Award-nominated film, Encanto.

From the Blue Fairy to a colorful, unique representation of Sleeping Beauty Castle, the grand finale of the “Main Street Electrical Parade” comprises seven segments stretching 118 feet in length, making it one of the longest and grandest units in the parade’s 50-year history.

Main Street Electrical Parade and Disneyland Forever will be available for a limited time at Disneyland park. When Disneyland Forever fireworks spectacular comes back on April 22nd, it will run weekends only (Friday through Sunday). Mickey’s Mix Magic will present its high-energy, projections-only show during the week (Monday through Thursday) until late spring. At that time, Disneyland Forever fireworks will then run nightly in the summer. World of Color and Fantasmic! will return to their regular schedule upon reopening.
