Visitors to the Europa-Park Resort will experience many highlights during the resort’s jubilee season. Open all year round, the Rulantica water world rings in the anniversary with its first Nordic Festival of Lights. Between January 13 and March 21, guests can enjoy the magical illuminations and dreamlike shows and entertainment on offer.
On March 22, Germany’s largest theme park’s summer season begins. Shows and all manner of surprises, as well as over 15 hours of fast-paced fun, are to be had at both Summer Night parties. On July 12, the birthday of Germany’s largest theme park, and August 23, when the tenth birthday of Europa-Park’s JUNIOR CLUB is celebrated, guests can enjoy the park until midnight.
What’s more, in the jubilee year the European idea will also be celebrated under the motto: “Experience. Europe. Together.” The theme park will present different themed festivals during which visitors can get up close to traditions typical of each country and different cultures:

The new GRAND PRIX EDventure in the Luxembourg themed area will lead the visitors across Europe during the summer season.

The attraction is designed to tie in with the film GRAND PRIX OF EUROPE, a MACK Magic and Warner Bros. Film Productions Germany co-production. The film is being produced by Michael Mack, Managing Partner of Europa-Park and founder of the entertainment company MACK Magic.
The 50th anniversary of Europa-Park will also be celebrated from up high. Between May 1-3 2025, more than 20 hot air balloons will conquer the skies over Germany’s largest theme park. From about 800 meters (2,625 feet) up, guests can explore Europa-Park from a bird’s perspective and, at the same time, get a spectacular view of the Black Forest across the Rhine plain and towards the Vosges. Guests can also look forward to a special balloon to tie in with the jubilee.
At the end of the jubilee year, DJ BoBo will bring his DJ BoBo ARENA Tour to the Europa-Park Arena between January 15-17, 2026.
