It wouldn't be Universal's Mardi Gras without the fabulous parade floats. Unfortunately this year the parade won't be what we have come to love (It probably is the best theme park parade), but you can still find these wonderful floats stationed around the park.

In what has now become tradition, the Tribute Store will again be making an appearance with its elaborately themed rooms and unique merchandise so you can bring that carnival spirit home with you.

Is it even a festival if there's no music? Universal has got the party atmosphere covered with the Big Easy bash. Brass band musicians, street performers and beads galore will get you in the ultimate Mardi Gras spirit.

Universal Orlando Resort's Mardi Gras: International Flavors of Carnival begins Saturday 6th February and will run until Sunday 28th March. Tickets are available to purchase on the Universal Orlando Resort website.
