A fun place to be for Mardi Gras is Universal Studios:
The French Quarter Courtyard sizzles with live music
direct from New Orleans and authentic Cajun food* like Spicy Jambalaya, Grilled Andouille Sausage, Shrimp Gumbo and more. 
The excitement of Mardi Gras continues this Saturday, Feb. 22, with an electrifying performance by R&B sensation Robin Thicke. The summer of 2013 marked the debut of Robin’s highly anticipated new studio album, Blurred Lines. The release quickly took the music world by storm and debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top 200 while, “Blurred Lines,” the single, set records around the world. It went to No. 1 in more than 100 countries and had a record setting 12-week reign in the US at the top of the Billboard Hot 100. Robin continues to receive accolades for the album and single including three GRAMMY Award nominations and four NAACP Image Award nominations.
Along with the live concert, guests can experience the spirit of the legendary Bayou bash during the dazzling Mardi Gras parade, featuring 12 vibrant floats, including three new additions celebrating Jules Verne’s novel, “Around the World in 80 Days.” Guests can also visit Universal Studios Florida’s very own French Quarter Courtyard to enjoy delectable Cajun cuisine and see performances by bands pulled straight from Bourbon Street.
Little ones get their own private parade experience in the Little Jester’s Parade Viewing Area located next to the Terminator 2®: 3-D attraction. This area is available beginning one hour before parade starts.
The excitement of Universal Orlando’s Mardi Gras celebration is included with admission to Universal Studios Florida. For more information, visit www.universalorlando.com/mardigras.
