Celebrate Butterbeer Season and Fan Fest Nights at Universal Studios This Spring
Spring is here, and with it comes an urge to visit the Wizarding World parks. That’s nothing new, but the ways to celebrate the magic of Harry Potter certainly are. From tantalizing treats to after-hour events, there’s plenty of enchantment in store for fans.
Warmer weather calls for cooler drinks and, like this time last year, Butterbeer season has come just in time. Universal Studio Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort have marked the occasion with new mouthwatering offerings like a Butterbeer Cream Puff that is available at the Three Broomsticks along with limited-edition gold souvenir steins that are perfect for sipping the beverage both cold and hot. Guests will also be able to purchase a Butterbeer-flavored Chocolate Bar and Butterbeer Caramel at retail locations. These will all be available for the season, which runs from March 1 to May 31. The Ice Lolly frozen dessert is returning as well, though this will be available year-round.

The parks are also offering a Butterbeer-themed merchandise collection, consisting of apparel and accessories like zipped fleece hoodies, crossbody bags, socks, and more. Fans can buy items from the collection this season to celebrate every wizard’s favorite beverage year-round.
If you’re unable to make it to Universal, Harry Potter New York has a few worthy offerings as well. Drop by the Butterbeer bar to sip and sample treats like Butterbeer cookies, sundaes, and a new ice cream topping. Fans in Europe will find their celebration at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London, and those in Asia can find themed delights at Harry Potter Cafe in Japan, Harry Potter: Visions of Magic in Singapore, and Universal Beijing Resort.

Universal Studios Hollywood is bringing some extra enchantment to the West Coast this Spring with Universal Fan Fest Nights, running on select evenings from April 25 through May 18. The event consists of after-hours entertainment for fans of several of the world’s most cherished properties, including, obviously, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Potter fanatics will be treated to encounters with magical creatures, including Nifflers, an Occamy, and a baby Dragon. Hogwarts Always, a dazzling light projection show that first debuted in Orlando, will light up the night against the backdrop of the Hogwarts castle. And, of course, there will be plenty to eat and shop for throughout the night as well. Tickets are on sale now.
Fly, don’t walk, to participate in the extraordinary events this season.
