Tribute Store

Returning for its second year, the Mardi Gras Tribute Store combines intricately themed walkthroughs and unique merchandise to create an attraction in and of itself. This year’s rooms will take guests into a 1920s jazz club, a lavish nautical cemetery, and an illicit waterfront warehouse.

The Tribute Store will feature exclusive merchandise along with new, unique food offerings and will be open during park hours at Universal Studios Florida.

Entertainment

Universal’s popular concert series is taking a breather for 2021 but that does not stop the good times from rolling. The park will be decorated with Mardi Gras decorations and street performers will wander the physically distanced crowds. 2020’s parade floats will be stationed around the park for photo opportunities and small bands will perform for dining guests.

Taking inspiration from the Halloween and Holiday events, Universal will also offer a Mardi Gras Scavenger Hunt. Details will be announced at a future date.

Universal Orlando’s Mardi Gras runs from February 6 through March 28, 2021. The event is included in the price of admission to Universal Studios Florida.
