Mardi Gras Festival at Universal
If you haven't visited New Orleans for Mardi Gras - then this is probably the next best thing (some say it's better)! Mardi Gras at Universal Studios takes place on selected Saturday nights between February and April every year.

Revel in some of the best live entertainment that bring alive the spirit of "The Big Easy" and showcase the town's heritage. Enjoy the sights and tastes of fabulous creole cuisine from New Orleans, like Jambalaya, Shrimp Gumbo, Andouille Sausage and much more.

Guests staying at [[orvhs]] with VillaDirect from late February through till early April 2007 can visit Mardi Gras at Universal and catch as many strings of beads as they can carry....and after you have caught all the beads your heart desires and listened to some great live music, continue the party at CityWalk!
