Last year I finally went to Universal Orlando Mardi Gras! I had friends visiting from the UK and Canada and they were excited to enjoy the party so I joined in on the fun. While we didn’t attend the concert the night I was at the party, we enjoyed the rest of the festivities.

Make plans to visit the 2020 Universal Orlando Mardi Gras a family-friendly version of the iconic Big Easy bash February 1-April 2, 2020.
Friends through thick and thin!

The food and fun party atmosphere of the French Quarter Courtyard are not to be missed. The nightly Mardi Gras parade is amazing. We watched the parade near Mel’s Drive In and we got to see it twice, as it was going out and as it was coming back! I would definitely got for Mardi Gras again.

The party doesn’t stop there! Inspired by the all-new Treasures of the Deep theme, the nightly Mardi Gras parade runs throughout the streets of Universal Studios Florida featuring intricately detailed floats, vivacious dancers and stilt performers with extraordinary costumes, and countless beads. This year, the parade will debut six new floats inspired by mystical creatures of the deep, the sunken city of Atlantis and more. All 12 hand-crafted floats are engineered by Kern Studios, the same company that has created floats for the iconic New Orleans celebration since 1947. And, fan-favorite floats, including the Riverboat and King Gator, will return with all-new décor celebrating 25 years of party.
