CARLSBAD, CA (May 18, 2020) – New York City is known as “The City that never sleeps,” and it’s safe to say there are essential workers on the frontline doing just that to help keep everyone safe and healthy during this unprecedented time. To pay tribute and send a message of gratitude to frontline heroes, a Master Model Builder at LEGOLAND® California Resort designed a special scene in a miniature LEGO® version of the Big Apple located in the Park’s Miniland U.S.A. Constructed by Model Builder Tim Sams, the scene is filled with LEGO versions of frontline workers, New Yorkers cheering on their hard work and a special LEGO “Thank You” banner. The family theme park built for kids continues to share messages of hope and gratitude to hopefully bring some smiles to all the families affected by COVID-19 until they can open once again.  The special New York City tribute video, along with access to instructional building videos and fun activities that promote learning, creating and play, can be found on the Resort’s website. All activities on the site are free and available for everyone to enjoy.  For more information:  https://www.legoland.com/llcbuildingchallenge/.

Midsummer Scream 2020 cancellation / 2021 dates announced!

5/1/2020

To Our Beloved Fans and Community:

We are saddened to announce the cancellation of Midsummer Scream 2020 due to the impact of Covid-19. However, we're excited to announce that plans are already underway for Midsummer Scream 2021 to take place July 9 to 11 at the Long Beach Convention Center.

Tickets already purchased will be automatically transferred and honored for Midsummer Scream 2021. Current ticket holders are encouraged to retain their tickets to keep the current rate. Ticket holders may also receive a refund by visiting this page and submitting a request. 

As state and government officials have advised that life won’t return to “normal” for months, our team discussed and deliberated at length a variety of contingency plans in hopes of keeping Midsummer Scream going in 2020. Each fell short of our promise to deliver the show this community wants and deserves. The heartbreaking decision to cancel is seen as the best way to serve our community and encourage everyone to stay safe and healthy so we may rally and support Halloween events in Southern California this fall.


Midsummer Scream will continue to remain engaged with our community as champions of Halloween, haunters, and fans everywhere year-round. This will come in the form of spooky new merchandise, social media engagement, and pop-up events as soon as conditions allow, including our annual dark holiday event - Season’s Screamings! 

Please follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, and make sure you are signed up for our mailing list so that we can keep you informed about what’s happening in the community and what our plans are as we begin the march toward Midsummer Scream 2021.

We thank our vendors, theme park partners, haunters, and team for the work and excitement that goes into Midsummer Scream. And to the entire Halloween community, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your unwavering support. 

Words cannot adequately express the disappointment we all share.  We will get through this together!

-David Markland, Claire Dunlap, Gary Baker, Rick West, and the entire Midsummer Scream Team
