Universal Orlando’s Mardi Gras
If you are new to Mardi Gras at Universal Orlando here is a taste of what you can expect.
“What’s even more exciting than Mardi Gras? Universal’s Mardi Gras! We’re going beyond the bayou with an awesome party inspired by Carnaval celebrations from around the world. Watch a parade (on select nights) of spectacular floats. Sample flavors from the bayou to Brazil and beyond. Enjoy live music all around and concerts (on select nights), then go ahead and get your beads and your party on!”
The Fun
This year’s theme includes a “Mythical Realms of Mardi Gras” parade – featuring six new floats inspired by fantastical creatures like dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, and more that will join Universal’s traditional lineup of New Orleans-inspired floats – such as the iconic, two-story Riverboat and nearly 50-foot-long King Gator.

Plus, guests can enjoy more for less with the purchase of the Universal Orlando Resort Food and Beverage Card by paying $65 for a $75 card, and Universal Orlando Passholders have exclusive access to a $150 card for only $120.

I am really looking forward to Mardi Gras at Universal Orlando. The theming is so immersive and really transports you. I’ve never been to New Orleans but I am excited to experience Mardi Gras here in Orlando. I also really enjoy trying new dishes I might not normally experience. The parade has me the most excited though and I can’t wait to see the new floats this year.
