Universal Orlando’s Mardi Gras celebration continues this weekend with live performances by alternative rockers Barenaked Ladies and country star Thomas Rhett. On Saturday, Feb. 15, the Grammy-nominated Barenaked Ladies, best known for their singles “One Week” and “The Old Apartment,” will perform live in concert at Universal Studio Florida. The next night, rising country star Thomas Rhett will take to the Music Plaza Stage to perform hits from his breakthrough album, “It Goes Like This”.
The “N’awlins”-inspired, family-friendly version of Mardi Gras runs select nights through May 31. Guests can catch colorful beads by the handful during the festive Mardi Gras parade, which will feature 12 vibrant floats, including three new additions celebrating Jules Verne’s novel, “Around the World in Eighty Days.” Guests can also visit Universal Studios Florida’s very own French Quarter Courtyard to enjoy authentic Cajun cuisine and see performances by bands pulled straight from Bourbon Street.
