According to a new post on X (formerly Twitter), Universal Mardi Gras: International Flavors of Carnaval will return from February 1 through March 30, 2025.

Next year’s event will be somewhat shorter; the 2024 event ran from February 3 – April 7.

As with every year, this seasonal event at Universal will include a parade — which guests can participate in — along with live concerts, new merchandise, and food from New Orleans and around the world. Last year’s parade was themed to the elements.

There will also likely be the return of the Mardi Gras Tribute Store, which is usually located in the Hollywood section of Universal Studios Florida. The Tribute Store for last year was themed to a river cruise.

Another Mardi Gras season will also likely mean the return of the Cursed Coconut Club in Universal CityWalk and a new overlay of the All Hallows Eve Boutique in Universal Islands of Adventure.

A new trailer for the event was also released, which you can watch below:
