It's that time of year again to scream the loudest you can to get as many beads as humanly possible at Universal Orlando's Mardi Gras celebration.
Beginning on February 7, the celebration kicks off with it's traditional parade through the streets of Universal Studios Florida.
This year's theme is for the parade is "The Wonderful World of Literature" and includes Western (Wild West), Mythology (Greek/Roman), Horror (Gargoyle), Fantasy (Lord of the Rings), Children's (Toy Trains, Nursery Rhymes), and Adventure (Pirates) floats followed by the traditional Mardi Gras floats.
Parade Times:
February 7 - March 28 at 8:00 p.m.
April 4, 11 & 18 9:00 p.m.
This year's Mardi Gras concert line up looks to be one of Universal Orlando's most promising yet:
February 7 - KC & The Sunshine Band
February 14 - Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons
February 15 - Village People
February 21 - Ne-Yo
February 28 - Pat Benatar featuring Neil Giraldo on guitar
March 7 - Barenaked Ladies
March 14 - Montgomery Gentry
March 21 - Collective Soul
March 27 - Boys Like Girls
March 28 - Kelly Clarkson
April 4 - MC Hammer
April 11 - Trace Adkins
April 18 - Nelly
So here is our vote of the week. Gush, or complain, in the comments.
I'm not saying get the same singers as the one in FL has but USH does have a record label I think so why not get some singers on there Label to show up at USH

Personally I think MC Hammer will be a fun one to go to. I mean come on, "Can't touch this" how much fun will that be.
And how can we not go see the classic "KC and The Sunshine Band". Universal Orlando's Mardi Gras would not be the same without them putting on a fun good show.
Besides that I really like that Universal Orlando finally stepped up to the plate again, it's been like four or five years since they've had a lineup that was close to being as good as this years. (In my opinion)
By the way, go to UniversalOrlando.com/MardiGras for more information on the event.
