Winter Park can enjoy Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras at Universal Orlando is slated to be one of the biggest parties in Florida.

The family-friendly event welcomes visitors from across the region. As Winter Park is just a few minutes away, residents can easily enjoy the huge celebration.

One of the highlights of the event is the diverse food fest. Over 70 dishes, along with beverages covering 13 global locations, will be featured. In preparing for events of this type, food vendors often require project completion such as business card printing. They work with local printers to ensure they can market their specialties at large gatherings by distributing their contact information.

Guests can look for the Big Easy at this event, which presents entertainment in the streets. Colorful, high-energy dancers, along with stilt performers, will entertain the crowds. Brass band musicians add to the musical entertainment, and endless beads are part of the tradition.

A brand new Mardi Gras Tribute Store offering promotional merchandise will be added to the festival in a new theme presentation. Whether buying traditional goodies or very specific event gifts, there is sure to be something for everyone.

Mardi Gras at Universal Orlando will begin next Saturday, February 6, and run through March 28. It takes place at Universal Studios Orlando. All Mardi Gras activities are included in the ticket purchase. Tickets are available via the Mardi Gras website.
