Harlem Globetrotters to Return to Wild Adventures Theme Park
July 02, 2026
VALDOSTA, Ga. — Wild Adventures Theme Park will see the return of the Original Harlem Globetrotters, as they perform their Trick Shots & Challenges Showcase. The performance takes place on July 10 through 12 during the park’s Celebrate America Festival powered by Georgia Power, a patriotic three-week event honoring 250 years of America, military service and bringing families together through live entertainment, summertime thrills and gallons of waterpark fun.
Performances will feature Globetrotters stars Ace, Bulldog and Wham, along with the team’s popular mascot, Globie. Each show includes trick shots, dunks, and on-stage fan challenges that invite audience members to get in on the action. The performances are included with park admission. The show takes place at the Wild Adventures LIVE! Amphitheater each day at 1 p.m., 3 p.m. and 5 p.m.
“Celebrate America Festival would not be complete without the amazing skills of the Harlem Globetrotters,” said Asher Raymond, public relations specialist. “Their performance blends family fun with interactive moments that you cannot find anywhere else. It is truly a unique experience that guests do not want to miss.”
Guests can arrive early to participate in the Magic Pass pre-show experience, which includes a dribble zone, a 360-degree video opportunity and a meet-and-greet with Globie.
In partnership with Georgia Power, all active duty, retired, disabled, and honorably discharged veterans receive free admission every day of the Celebrate America Festival, from June 20 through July 12, with a valid military ID or DD Form 214. This offer is available at the park entrance and requires no advance registration.
