Universal Mardi Gras 2026: International Flavors of Carnaval Begins

Universal Mardi Gras: International Flavors of Carnaval 2026 kicked off on February 7, running through April 4. The event features bold flavors from 12 different countries, the signature Mardi Gras parade, and 11 live concert performances on select nights.

The concert lineup includes Bebe Rexha, Zedd, The All-American Rejects, Joey Fatone & AJ McLean, and RuPaul. All festivities are included with regular park admission, making it one of the best values in Orlando entertainment.

The Float Ride and Dine Experience also returned, allowing guests to enjoy a three-course meal at participating restaurants and then ride on an actual parade float that evening, starting at $94.99 plus tax per person.
