Universal Orlando’s Mardi Gras celebration begins this Saturday, Feb. 8, at Universal Studios Florida – combining unmatched theme park entertainment with delectable Cajun cuisine, authentic New Orleans bands, an awe-inspiring parade and live concerts by some of today’s hottest artists.
This Saturday, Grammy award-winning rock band Daughtry will kick off the celebration with a live performance on the Music Plaza stage. With popular hits like “Home,” “It’s Not Over” and “No Surprise,” Daughtry has sold more than 20 million albums worldwide. The band’s lead singer, Chris Daughtry, was discovered on season 5 of the hit show, American Idol.
Before the concert, guests can catch colorful beads by the handful during the festive Mardi Gras parade, which will feature 12 vibrant floats, including three new additions celebrating Jules Verne’s novel, “Around the World in Eighty Days.” Guests can also visit Universal Studios Florida’s very own French Quarter Courtyard to enjoy authentic Cajun cuisine and see performances by bands pulled straight from Bourbon Street.
