Universal Orlando Announces 2025 Mardi Gras Concerts
Universal Orlando Resort hosts a Mardi Gras celebration each year. This two-month event involves many concerts, which were announced today.
Universal Mardi Gras: International Flavors of Carnaval runs from February 1 until March 30, 2025. Guests can see the fabulous Mardi Gras parade on select nights during this event. This parade features talented street performers, New Orleans music, colorful costumes, and countless beads flying through the air.
Of course, it would not be Mardi Gras without some tasty food. Guests can purchase various food options like authentic Cajun specialties and flavors from around the world. Mardi Gras guests can savor the all-new mouth-watering menu items inspired by international Carnaval cuisine from New Orleans to Puerto Rico and beyond. While venturing through Universal Studios Florida, guests can stop by kiosks full of sweet, savory, and spicy dishes from around the globe, like Hot Maple Lacquered Salmon, Spicy Szechuan Chicken Bites, and the returning favorite, the Colombian Burger. Of course, Universal Orlando’s versions of King Cake and beignets will be available. Best of all, the Mardi Gras festivities are included with your theme park admission. Some blockout dates apply to certain passes.
