Authentic Cajun & Creole Cuisine

Enjoy the tastes of The Big Easy at Universal Studios Florida. From tasty snacks to mouth-watering desserts to belly-busting main dishes, you can sample authentic Cajun and Creole specialties that will take you back to the bayou.

Parade

A highlight of Mardi Gras is the spectacular parade that winds its way through the streets of Universal Studios. Dazzling floats, colorful costumes, towering stilt walkers, outrageous street performers, dancers, and float-riders tossing handfuls of beads and doubloons to delighted parade-goers creates a festive party atmosphere unlike anything else in Orlando.
