Universal Orlando's Mardi Gras celebration is back in full swing in 2022. The party kicks off on Saturday, Feb. 5 and the theme park giant promises that this year's event will be louder, spicier and better than ever!

"This year’s celebration features the return of the event’s most beloved experiences – including star-studded live concerts, the spectacular Mardi Gras parade and savory cuisine featuring iconic New Orleans fare and unique international flavors," Universal said in a press release. 

Below is a guide to what you'll experience at the 2022 celebration:

The theme for this year's parade is "Planet Mardi Gras" which features "six incredibly-detailed floats that fuse Mardi Gras flare with cosmic-inspired elements like comets, rockets, Martians and more – inviting guests to catch beads by the handful."  These new floats join Universal’s traditional lineup of New Orleans-inspired floats, the resort says.

A "Mardi Gras Food and Beverage" card will be available for purchase so that guests may sample a variety of signature dishes and some new items. 

"Guests can take their taste buds on an international culinary journey with dishes like the tasty Crawfish Boil and melt-in-your-mouth beignets from New Orleans, Coconut Curry Shrimp Laksa (a sweet and spicy noodle soup) from Southeast Asia, Vegan Samosa with spicy green chutney from India, and Salchipapas (a popular street food made with sausage and potatoes) from Central America," the resort says.
