PHOTOS & VIDEOS: The LIVE Concerts at Universal Orlando's Mardi Gras are BACK!

Disclosure: We were invited by Universal to attend a media event for Universal Orlando’s Mardi Gras. This did not affect our reporting of the event — our opinions are our own.

It’s time to sing, dance, and celebrate: the Universal Mardi Gras Concert Series is back, and “louder, spicier, and better than ever!” We’re so excited that this fun and upbeat event is back, and we can’t wait to party!

This year, we’ve got an exciting concert series lineup! There will be a variety of different artists performing throughout the Mardi Gras celebration, including names like Diana Ross (yes, THE Diana Ross), Khalid, and even Jason Derulo!

It’s an exciting time at Universal!

To kick off the celebration, Sugar Ray came to perform tonight! Of course, we had to go and rock out with the band! The band was set to start at 8:30PM, so we grabbed a spot by the stage.

There were PLENTY of people excited to see the concert!
