How do you plan to celebrate Noche de San Juan this year? Well, if you are in Orlando, Florida, you can celebrate the holiday the weekend before at Aquatica waterpark! They are having a special nighttime Noche de San Juan event at Aquatica on Saturday, June 20, 2026. I want to tell you more about this event in our Aquatica Noche de San Juan 2026 Guide.
What is Noche de San Juan?
But first, let me quickly tell you more about Noche de San Juan. Noche de San Juan is also known as Saint John’s Eve. It is the celebration before the Feast Day of Saint John the Baptist. See, the Gospel of Luke states that John was born six months before Jesus, so the feast of John the Baptist has been fixed on June 24th. Noche de San Juan begins at sunset the day before on June 23rd. It is a very popular holiday in Puerto Rico where they celebrate a night-long celebration on June 23rd generally at the beach.
How Do You Celebrate Noche de San Juan at Aquatica Orlando?
Aquatica has a special, one-night event on Saturday, June 20th for Noche de San Juan! It takes place from 7:00 PM to 12:00 AM. You can celebrate the holiday with some of your favorite DJs from your favorite radio stations RUMBA 100.3, MEGA 97.1, and RETRO 97.9. There will be two different dance parties during the event.
The entire water park will also be open during the event. So you can enjoy everything you normally enjoy at Aquatica. You can see for yourself how great the water park is in our Aquatica walkthrough video:
You can also enjoy some delicious food during the event. So this should be a really fun night and a really special way to celebrate Noche de San Juan in Orlando, FL.
Noche de San Juan Aquatica 2026 Ticket Info
So this is a separate ticket event. This means even if you have a Fun Card or Annual Pass, you still need to purchase a separate ticket. Even if you have a general admission ticket for Aquatica during the day that day, you’ll still need a separate ticket for the event (like you do for Howl-O-Scream at SeaWorld Orlando). You can purchase that ticket here. You can purchase a special event T-Shirt there as well!
Parking for the event is $30. Annual passholders get parking benefits based on Pass tier. We go over all the reasons to be a SeaWorld pass holder here.
Now, you won’t have to worry about parking altogether if you are visiting from out of town and you stay at a hotel within walking distance like Doubletree Orlando at SeaWorld. My family has walked to Aquatica from Doubletree Orlando and it was a convenient walk. You can read oul hotel review here.
