Mardi Gras Dates Announced for 2026 at Universal Orlando Resort

Get ready to let the good times roll once again! Universal Mardi Gras: International Flavors of Carnaval returns to Universal Studios Florida from February 7 through April 4, 2026!

For those who haven’t been to Mardi Gras, its really just a TON of fun! The best parts of this event are the parade, which is incredible, the live music, and let’s not forget about the delicious food from around the world. Oh and yes, the ridiculous number of beads you end up coming home with.

Plus there’s always a stellar line-up of performing artists who take the Music Plaza Stage! I’m curious who this year’s performers will be!

Oh and best of all, the Mardi Gras festivities are INCLUDED with your theme park admission.

We’ll make sure to have all the updates for Mardi Gras 2026 for you here! So check back!
