Visitors stroll towards the iconic Studios Park Entrance of Universal Studios Florida, where an archway once celebrated Mardi Gras 2023.

We have seen a vast majority of the new decorations for Mardi Gras 2025 being erected around Universal Studios Florida. Jester hats were added atop the lampposts and celebration statues were added to the streets during our last decoration update. Now, the large medallion at the park’s entrance has been hung.

A vibrant sign reading "Mardi Gras 30 Celebration" adorns the Studios Park Entrance, framed by swaying palm trees. Below it, "Universal Orlando 2023" is elegantly inscribed, with a hint of excitement for Universal Mardi Gras 2025 in the air.

The central medallion is a gold circle saying “Mardi Gras 30th Celebration,” referencing this year being the 30th anniversary of Mardi Gras celebrations at the resort. The text is surrounded by multicolored confetti, beads, and music notes. An image of King Gator peeks out from the side of yellow, green, and purple feathers.

The medallion is double-sided and has the same image on both sides. Guests can also view it when exiting the park.

The 2025 Mardi Gras: International Flavors of Carnaval festival runs from February 1 through March 30. The 2025 Tribute Store, which is themed this year as Legends of the Bayou, recently opened before the official start date for Annual Passholders. We have already written a full article documenting all the store details and recorded a full POV video tour. We have also compiled a full list of the 2025 event merchandise items and full food menus for the event. The Cursed Coconut Club, a themed overlay to the Red Coconut Club at Universal CityWalk, will be returning as well.
