Nintendo has officially announced the Summer Nights 2026 Splatfest for Splatoon 3, bringing back the seasonal event on the weekend of August 21. This year’s theme asks players to choose which destination they’d reserve for a day: Palace, Theme Park, or Beach. 

The 2026 event follows last year’s Summer Nights Splatfest, which centered on traveling by land, sea, or air. As with previous Splatfests, players will join one of three teams before competing in online Turf War battles to determine the winning choice. Nintendo is expected to reveal the final results shortly after the event concludes.
