Six Flags Magic Mountain will fill the summer, fall and winter seasons in 2026 with an entertaining mix of Superman and Harley Quinn, Oktoberfest beers and Bavarian pretzels, killer clowns and blood curdling screams and Santa Claus and faux snow.
The now-familiar lineup of seasonal events will once again return to the Valencia amusement park in 2026 with DC Heroes and Villains Fest, Fright Fest, Tricks and Treats, Oktoberfest and Holiday in the Park.

Let’s take a closer look at Magic Mountain’s 2026 seasonal events calendar.

Summer Fun
Magic Mountain will transform Bugs Bunny World into Looney Tunes Land by summer 2026 in celebration of the park’s 55th anniversary.
The recently renovated Hurricane Harbor water park next to Magic Mountain will return from May 23 through Sept. 7.
Fright Fest
Magic Mountain’s current Fright Fest formula leans heavily into haunted mazes based on major horror movie franchises in an effort to take on Universal’s Horror Nights in a bloody battle royale for Halloween supremacy.
Fright Fest 2026 will run on select nights from Sept. 18 through Nov. 1.
The 2025 lineup included haunted mazes based on Saw, Conjuring and Trick ‘r Treat along with the new Carnage original maze, two new scare zones and a new show.

What seems to be missing from Magic Mountain’s 2026 calendar are any spring events.
Magic Mountain tested out Scream Break during the spring of 2023 and 2024 that mashed up Spring Break with Fright Fest haunted mazes.
The Flavors of the World food festival ran during summer 2023 and Spring 2024 at the park.
