It’s never too early to celebrate Mardi Gras!

Universal has had some exciting announcements lately! From the updates about Epic Universe to the fun at Halloween Horror Nights, we have been pretty excited about heading to Universal. Now, they have another announcement that has us ready to celebrate!
Starting on February 4th, 2023, Universal Orlando’s Mardi Gras: International Flavors of Carnaval returns! According to Universal, the celebrations will run daily from February 4th until April 16th, 2023.

This party is “inspired by Carnaval celebrations from around the world” and will feature parades of floats on select nights, specialty foods and snacks just for the event, and live music and concerts!

Admission to the party is included with your theme park ticket or your annual pass. We are super excited to see the return of this party, especially while we wait for Epic Universe which is set to open before summer 2025.

While you wait for the “beyond the bayou” celebrations to begin, you can still go to Halloween Horror Nights which runs until October 31st, 2022. Don’t forget to keep following AllEars for all of your Universal news and updates!
