This weekend Universal Orlando will transform into one of the biggest celebrations they offer! That’s right, it’s time again for Mardi Gras at Universal Studios Orlando! Mardi Gras, which is included in the price of admission, will fill the streets of Universal Orlando with a parade, great food, beautiful costumes and of course world class music! Universal Orlando’s 2015 Mardi Gras celebration begins this Saturday, February 7, featuring a live performance by Australian singer-songwriter Olivia Newton-John.
With more than 100 million albums sold, Newton-John has won 10 American Music Awards and four People’s Choice Awards throughout her career. She’s recorded 10 No. 1 hits, including “Physical” – which is listed at No. 6 on Billboard’s Top 100 Songs of All Time. She is also known for her breakout performance alongside John Travolta in the iconic musical film, “Grease.”
Universal Orlando’s Mardi Gras celebration runs select nights until April 18 and combines unmatched theme park entertainment with a jazzy New Orleans flare. Along with live concerts by some of today’s hottest artists, guests can enjoy authentic New Orleans bands in the French Quarter Courtyard, mouthwatering Cajun cuisine and an extravagant parade, which features 12 vibrant and dazzling floats.
Mardi Gras is included with admission to Universal Studios Florida. For more information and details about special ticket offers, visit www.UniversalOrlando.com/MardiGras.
