Universal Orlando Resort announced that next year’s edition
of the theme park’s Universal Mardi Gras: International Flavors of Carnaval
will return from February 3 through April 7, 2024.
This year’s Mardi Gras parade will be complete with tons of
colorful beads, dazzling floats and energetic street performers, and on select
nights, live concerts by yet-to-be-announced talent to cap off the festivities.
Visitors celebrating the spirit of Carnaval can experience
all the excitement of Universal Mardi Gras with regular admission to Universal
Studios Florida or a valid Universal Orlando Pass.
For Universal Orlando guests looking to experience the
cuisine of New Orleans, the theme park offers the Mardi Gras Float Ride and
Dine Experience, which reserves a spot to toss beads from a Mardi Gras float
during the event’s vibrant parade.
The experience includes a three-course meal at one of four
participating restaurants: The Cowfish Sushi Burger Bar, NBC Sports Grill &
Brew, Finnegan’s Bar & Grill or Lombard’s Seafood Grille.
The Mardi Gras Float Ride and Dine Experience includes one
appetizer, entree, dessert, non-alcoholic beverage (starting at $84.99 plus tax
per person) and one Mardi Gras parade float rider reservation on the same day.
Universal Orlando Passholders receive a 15 percent discount
off the ticketed price of the experience with a valid Pass when purchasing in
person at the Front Gate or a Guest Services location of the theme park.
More details of the 2024 Universal Mardi Gras: International
Flavors of Carnaval will be announced in the coming weeks.
