The Magic Kingdom's Celebrate the Magic will not be shown for most of August due to planned maintenance.

The Cinderella Castle projection show will be dark from August 5 to August 30, with performances resuming on August 31 2016.

During the closure, Disney will be upgrading the projectors used for the show.

I wonder if they'll be expanding the projections to the new turrets that flank the castle. Kinda similar to Once Upon A Time at TDL?

Updated projection
And will it continue running throughout the year? I haven't been before so not sure. And we will be there for the first time in September and would be nice to experience.
In related news... Disney will be putting trees back in the center of the hub while CTM is dark. ;)
Gutted, I honestly don't think I will ever book to go in August again, too many rides and attractions down, most of which are must see, Thunder Mountain, Dinosaur to name a few, and now this a must see end to the day /night experience.

Welcome aboard and I feel your pain! I had to move a few things around to be able to catch it our first night.
August isn't always the most packed month so I imagine the 'slower' period is why they decide to take certain things down. JMO
Will this have any effect on the Wishes fireworks show? I know that the castle will change color during the show, but I don't remember if they use any projection effects.

It shouldn't.
Well at least once MSEP ends in October at MK. Celebrate The Magic along with Wishes can serve as night shows for MK for now.
