Busch Gardens - 50 and Still Partying Into the Night
 Believe it or not, it has been 50 years since Busch Gardens first opened as an admission-free hospitality center for the nearby Anheuser-Busch manufacturing plant. But you’d never know the park is half-a-century old from all the exciting attractions and shows it offers, from the exhilarating Sheikra to the side-splitting Critter Castaways. And in celebration of being fifty and still fabulous, the park will be partying all season long with Summer Nights at Busch Gardens, an opportunity for guests to enjoy special entertainment, festive food and drink, and extended nighttime hours. Every night from June 6 through August 16, Busch Gardens will put on its dancing shoes and lead park guests in celebration – literally. An infectious dance choreographed especially for park guests will amp up the energy during summer nights, and DJs from four different spots throughout the park will spin party hits all night long. Meanwhile, special entertainment and performers will kick off the festivities after dark, starting with Darren Romeo, presented by master magicians Siegfried and Roy. The voice of magic, Romeo returns to Busch Gardens with his captivating mix of magic and music in the Moroccan Palace. Following him is Jeff Civilico, who will present his amazing blend of comedy, juggling, balancing, athleticism, and audience participation in the Marrakesh Theater. Summer Nights at Busch Gardens will start with a bang this Saturday, June 6, when a live concert featuring hits from the ‘50s, ‘60s, and 70’s performed by the original artists takes over Gwazi Park. The concert will be capped with a fireworks display lighting up the night sky. Then, guests will want to come back on July 3, when the Independence Day festivities start early and David Cassidy performs live in concert. The next day, Starship featuring Mickey Thomas will rock the stages followed by another breathtaking fireworks spectacular. Park hours during Summer Nights at Busch Gardens will be extended until 9 pm Sundays through Thursdays and until 10 pm Fridays and Saturdays, so it’s a great opportunity to ride your favorite coasters in the dark and pack in even more fun at a regular day at Busch Gardens. In addition, guests can check out the new exhibit honoring the park’s 50 years of fun; located near the Crown Colony House Restaurant and the Clydesdale Hamlet, it features hundreds of photos, souvenirs and artifacts from the park’s history on display, including a 70-foot timeline. The best part of Summer Nights, however, is that it’s included with regular admission to Busch Gardens. So all you have to do is get your discount Busch Gardens tickets at OrlandoFunTickets.com and you’ll be all set to celebrate the park’s birthday and dance, ride, and party through the night this summer.
