Universal Orlando Mardi Gras Brings International Flavors To Florida
Things are getting spicy because Universal Orlando Mardi Gras is bringing international flavors to Florida.
The theme park just announced the dates for its wildly fun and successful Mardi Gras celebration. Universal’s Mardi Gras: International Flavors of Carnaval will take place February 4th through April 16th. This year, they are going beyond the Bayou and bringing more worldly festivities for park guests to experience. Prepare for colorful parades and plenty of international cuisine. The park plans to announce more information regarding parade themes, concerts, selections of foods and beverages in the near future.
One of the things that’s great about Universal Orlando Mardi Gras celebrations, is that it’s included in the price of admission. We love a party that takes you around the world without leaving the theme park! [SOURCE News Channel 8]
