This year, Mardi Gras will take over Universal Studios from February 5th through April 24th featuring a nighttime parade, live concerts, and all the Cajun-style cuisine that we’ve come to know and love. And, if you’re a Universal Annual Passholder then there’s an exclusive opportunity that you won’t want to miss out on!
Universal Passholders now have the chance to sign up to be a Mardi Gras Float Rider and throw out the signature Mardi Gras beads to park guests on the parade route on select dates!

Passholders can register themselves and up to four other passholders in advance to ride a float, though there are a few things to keep in mind. All guests must be 18 years or older (or accompanied by a parent or legal guardian), must be at least 48″ tall, and be prepared for the float riding experience to last between 2 to 3 hours.

Some blockout dates do apply, so keep in mind that Power Passholders will not be able to participate March 12th to 19th or April 9th to 16th, and Seasonal Passholders cannot participate February 5th, 12th, 19th, 20th, and 26th, March 5th, 6th, 12th to 20th, and 25th to 27th, or April 9th to 16th.
