Universal Orlando sets dates for return of Mardi Gras

November 17, 2024, 7:01 PM · The good times will roll again at Universal Orlando Resort, starting February 1, 2025.

That is the official starting date for the return of Universal's Mardi Gras: International Flavors of Carnaval celebration, which continues through March 30 next year.

Universal's Mardi Gras is a family-friendly event that features a daily parade, an international food festival, and concerts on select nights featuring headline performers. (That line-up will be revealed later.) It's the biggest festival of the spring at Universal Orlando.

At its heart, Mardi Gras is a community celebration, and Universal's version invites fans to take part, as well. Universal Orlando will be offering its Mardi Gras Float Ride and Dine Experience, which includes a three-course meal at a select Universal Orlando restaurant as well as a spot on one of the parade floats to toss beads to fans watching in the crowd. That experience starts at $89.99 per person, plus tax.
