This year’s Mardi Gras parade celebrates “Colorful Cultures Around the World,” featuring all-new float additions inspired by the Mexican Day of the Dead, Chinese New Year and Elegance of India. The parade’s elaborate, hand-crafted floats are built by Blaine Kern Artists – the same company that designs floats for the Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans. Click here for a first look at the new floats.
The excitement of Universal Orlando’s Mardi Gras is included with admission to Universal Studios.
