One Magical Weekend Announces 2027 Event Lineup with Riptide Party at Aquatica Orlando

ORLANDO, Fla. — November 10, 2026 — One Magical Weekend (OMW) today announced a new 2027 event lineup designed to build energy from an extended pool party Friday night to its signature waterpark experience Riptide on Sunday night. Riptide also moves to Aquatica Orlando next year.

OMW is June 3 through 7, 2027.

The weekend’s other staple parties — the Red Party on Saturday night at House of Blues in Disney Springs and the Cadabra after party held Friday through Sunday late-night at the host hotel ballroom — aren’t changing. Neither is OMW’s signature Therapy Pool Parties, or circuit party vibe with popular international DJs.

Tickets will go on sale this month, and the host hotel, Sheraton Lake Buena Vista, is already ~80 percent booked. OMW sister event Bear Jamboree, held concurrently with OMW, will be held at the hotel next to the Sheraton this year, moving from across the street to the Courtyard Marriott Orlando Lake Buena Vista at Vista Centre. 

“One Magical Weekend is nearing its 20th year,” Ethan Suarez, owner and producer of OMW and Bear Jamboree, said. “We researched how we can implement changes to the weekend that provide an even better experience for our guests without losing any of the most important aspects, like the sense of community togetherness. Moving Riptide to Sunday gives us the opportunity to send people off Monday with memories fresh from a high-energy experience. 

“We also know Aquatica is going to be an incredible location, and our production team is working on how to maximize the space for music, lighting and overall theming,” he said. “The Aquatica team is just as excited to work with us and build our relationship over the coming years.”

OMW is known for high-production events, international DJs, immersive parties, and a global community that returns to Orlando year after year. It has a reputation of delivering entertainment, attention to detail, and connection. Bear Jamboree participants have similar experiences at their host hotel and are invited to participate in OMW events. Bear Jamboree will celebrate its fifth anniversary in 2027.

For 2027, Friday night’s extended pool party will build the energy as people arrive for the weekend and will include a new entertainment element that will be announced later. Red Party returns Saturday night at House of Blues in Disney Springs to kick off the offsite events. On Sunday, OMW takes over Aquatica Orlando for the grand finale Riptide. Cadabra will continue the celebration after hours throughout the weekend, and there will be daily Therapy Pool Parties.

The new lineup reflects what has always defined OMW: Creating experiences where people from around the world can come together, celebrate freely, and make connections that last long after the weekend ends.

“One Magical Weekend has never been about just one party or one place,” Suarez said. “It’s the people, the music, the energy, and that feeling of being together with your community. We’re excited about the way the 2027 weekend is coming together, and we can’t wait for everyone to experience it.”

The 2026 weekend marked the first fully produced OMW under its new ownership at Pineapple Healthcare, Inc., but many of the producers and planners who have helped shape the event over the years still collaborate to bring the experience to life.

OMW and Bear Jamboree, are “parties with a purpose.” Revenue from both events helps support Pineapple Healthcare’s mission to provide accessible healthcare to the communities it serves.

Additional entertainment, ticketing, DJ announcements and event details will be released at later dates.
