7 Reasons Universal Orlando Is the Best Place For Families to Celebrate Mardi Gras

Each day, families can enjoy authentic Louisiana jazz, blues, and zydeco bands in the New York area of the park, but things really heat up on select nights throughout the festival when big-name acts take to the Music Plaza stage for a rockin' good time (there's also a Louisiana-style crawfish boil on concert nights). Included with the price of your theme park admission, you can introduce your kids to classics like TLC (February 29), REO Speedwagon (March 7), Diana Ross (March 15), and Earth, Wind & Fire (March 21), or catch current favorites like Luis Fonsi (March 13) or Marshmello (March 22).
