Enjoy a dazzling global celebration like no other during Universal Orlando Resort’s Mardi Gras: International Flavors of Carnaval, returning to Universal Studios Florida starting February 1 through March 30, 2025. The fan-favorite event offers fun for the entire family and features a nightly spectacular parade with colorful floats, hundreds of street performers, and tons of beads; mouth-watering cuisine inspired by New Orleans favorites and international flavors; and – on select nights – live performances by some of the most popular names in music.

 

All the excitement of Universal Mardi Gras is included with regular admission to Universal Studios Florida or a valid Universal Orlando Annual or Seasonal Pass (blockout dates may apply). Guests can take their Mardi Gras party to the next level with the Mardi Gras Float Ride and Dine Experience – which includes an exclusive opportunity to be a part of the festivities with a reserved coveted spot aboard a Mardi Gras float to toss colorful, sparkling beads during the event’s parade. In addition, guests will enjoy a three-course meal on the day of their visit that includes one appetizer, one entrée, one dessert, and one non-alcoholic beverage. Guests can choose from one of eight participating restaurants within Universal CityWalk and Universal Studios Florida – The Cowfish Sushi Burger Bar, NBC Sports Grill & Brew, Finnegan’s Bar & Grill, Lombard’s Seafood Grille, and new this year – Confisco Grille (2-Park ticket required), Antojitos Authentic Mexican Food (dinner only), Bob Marley-A Tribute to Freedom (dinner only), or Pat O'Brien's (dinner only).

 

The Mardi Gras Float Ride and Dine Experience starts at $95.84 (tax inclusive) per person. Let's chat about booking this add-on experience with your Universal Orlando vacation.
