626 STITCH DAY
A Special Celebration at Disneyland Paris on 24 to 28 June 2026
After last year’s successful debut, Stitch Day returns to Disneyland Paris in 2026 with an extended celebration, placing the little blue alien at the centre of the festivities. From 24 to 28 June, Disneyland Park will take on a relaxed Hawaiian-inspired atmosphere, bringing fun, music and mischief for the whole Ohana.
This year also marks the first appearance of Stitch’s close friend Angel, who joins the celebration alongside him throughout the park.
True to his unpredictable nature, Stitch is never far from the action. Each morning and evening, he appears on the balcony of Main Street Station, greeting guests as they enter and leave the park in his own energetic and mischievous style.
During the day, Stitch and Angel also take centre stage together in the Stitch Day cavalcade along Main Street, U.S.A., appearing several times daily as part of a lively procession filled with music, dancers and character moments that bring the celebration to life.
Rather than traditional stage shows, Stitch Day focuses on atmosphere and interaction, with entertainment woven throughout Disneyland Park to create a playful, high-energy summer experience.
