Mardi Gras
Universal Orlando Resort is kicking off Mardi Gras this Saturday – the biggest party, brought straight from New Orleans to you. This ultimate street party runs every Saturday and select nights from February 12 through April 23.
At Universal Orlando’s Mardi Gras, internationally renowned musical acts combine with an authentic Mardi Gras parade, dozens of colorfully costumed performers, authentic Cajun cooking, and hand-picked New Orleans bands to capture the look, feel and fun of New Orleans – all inside Universal Studios Florida.
The celebration begins with classic vocal group Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons. This internationally-acclaimed group, with over four decades in the music industry and 100 million albums sold, will be performing some of their most unforgettable hits such as “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Oh, What a Night” and “Walk Like a Man”.
This year’s concert line-up features some of the biggest names in Rock, Country, Pop and R&B.
