Universal Studios Orlando hosts ‘Florida’s Biggest Party’ with its annual Mardi Gras celebration, bringing ten fan-favorite bands and singers on select weekend nights from Feb. 27 to April 16.
This Saturday night’s celebration takes place in the middle of the seasonal event, featuring parades, beads, food, and a live concert from Shawn Mendes – you might remember Shawn from Vine where he would post song covers.
