Europa-Park Summer Night Party: 15 Hours Open on July 18

Fifteen hours straight at Europa-Park — live music, late-night energy, and every ride still running. On Saturday, July 18, the park opens from 9 a.m. to midnight and turns a regular visit into the season’s first Summer Night Party. What’s in the ticket? Live music, entertainment, and special activities ride along with regular admission, while more than 100 attractions stay open.

Across the European theme areas, the lineup stays busy. From 9 p.m., tribute band Simply Tina delivers Tina Turner’s biggest hits in the Italian area. You’ll also catch Virginie Schaeffer in the French area, Brendan Keeley in Ireland, Virgilio Genovese in Italy, and Sunflower in the Austrian area. Mobile music groups keep the mood high throughout the park.

For pure dance energy, head to the Silent Disco on Mario Botta Platz. From 5 to 11 p.m., headphones are free, with three channels covering current hits, ’80s and ’90s, and electro from three live DJs. Lounge seating and food options make it easy to take a breather. At the same time, the Croatian area hosts a big DJ party from 5 to 11:30 p.m. with TALENT ACADEMY DJs and DJane Katja Ostrovskyy.

Families get their own spotlight in Austria: Ed and Edda’s Kids Action brings five themed bounce houses and a parents’ lounge. From 6 p.m., the Märchenwald becomes an enchanted forest for the first time — walking acts, live music, handpan, and fairy-tale décor included.

Also on the bill: TALENT ACADEMY performances, an extra evening parade, the arena show Die Legende des Zorro, and a late Scala dell’Arte at 11:30 p.m. Exclusive cocktails and live DJs wait in the Eatrenalin Lounge in the Portuguese area. In Iceland, the dm Bus from Langhaarmädchen offers hair styling from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Adult guests in Croatia can win passenger rides in the all-electric Rimac Nevera hypercar.

When the areas light up after dark, walking acts roam the paths, and special moments brighten the night sky, the Summer Night Party hits its stride. At 11 p.m., a special illumination takes over, then Ed and Edda, artists, and walking acts say goodbye on Deutsche Allee.

Miss July 18? Mark Saturday, August 22, 2026 — a second Summer Night Party, again open until midnight.
