We had the BEST night at the Mardi Gras Parade at Universal Orlando Resort a few weeks ago!
From the larger-than-life floats, to the stilt performers, and hyping up the crowd, the atmosphere was absolutely was so fun! The colors, the music, the lights, the beads flying through the air โ it truly feels like a little slice of Bourbon Street right here in Orlando.
โจ Mardi Gras runs February 7 โ April 4, 2026 โจ
And yes โ the parade and concerts are included with park admission!
Pro tips if youโre planning to go:
โ๏ธ Arrive early for a great viewing spot
โ๏ธ Bring a bag for all the beads youโll catch
โ๏ธ Check the concert lineup in advance
If Mardi Gras is on your bucket list but New Orleans isnโt in the cards this year, this is SUCH a fun (and family-friendly!) way to celebrate.
Whoโs ready to catch some beads next? ๐๐
