Universal Orlando’s Mardi Gras is always fun but the theme park is promising an even louder, wilder and spicier Mardi Gras celebration this year than ever before! Running since Feb. 5 up to April 24, Guests can check out a colorful and energetic parade, see live entertainment and star-studded concerts, visit incredibly-themed merchandise locations, savor food and drinks from around the world and catch a whole lot of beads.
An all-new theme, “Planet Mardi Gras”, the parade features six new and incredibly-detailed floats that fuse Mardi Gras flare with cosmic-inspired elements such as comets, rockets, Martians and so much more. According to Universal, these displays will join six other popular floats including the Mardi Gras Jester and a nearly 50-foot-long King Gator.
Music legends Diana Ross and Seal, global superstar Khalid, Grammy-nominated DJ and producer Marshmello, and 12 other top artists will perform during select nights of the celebration. Concerts begin at 8:30 p.m. on the Music Plaza Stage near Rip Ride Rocket.
For guest going for daytime entertainment, they will be able to sip creative drinks and savor delicious and good foods. Just head over to the French Quarter Courtyard in the New York area of Universal Studios to see jazz bands performing and grab a picture or two with one of the incredibly talented Mardi Gras performers.
Universal is also bringing back its Krewe Crawl for this year’s event. For $10, guests can make their way around Universal Studios and visit 12 locations to discover planet-themed masks in gift shops. Once found, guests can ask a team member for a redemption stamp on their “out-of-this world” map. When all of the masks have been found, guests will get the ultimate piece of Mardi Gras treasure: a Krewe Crawl mask.
Also, this year, the Mardi Gras Tribute Store is back with the theme “Float Factory Warehouse.”The stunning store is located in Universal Studios’ New York-themed area of the park, which is between The Race through New York starring Jimmy Fallon and Revenge of the Mummy attractions. Guests will venture through four highly-themed rooms designed to visually depict the creative process of bringing a parade float to life. The tribute store is the perfect place to purchase Mardi Gras merchandise such as beads, masks and T-shirts.
