SeaWorld theme park in Orlando, Florida is once holding a Mardi Gras event in honor of the special holiday. Our family has visited SeaWorld on Mardi Gras before and we had a wonderful time. So, of course, we want to tell you all about it. We’ll tell you the dates and what special features the park has for the day. Then we’ll tell you how to save money on your tickets!
When is the SeaWorld Mardi Gras Celebration?
The event takes place on the following dates:
- February 27 – March 2
- March 4
- March 6 – 9
This is exciting because it runs at the same time as one of my favorite SeaWorld festivals, the Seven Seas Food Festival. This is true for all dates but March 4th, when just the Mardi Gras celebration takes place.
What Special Festivities Take Place During the SeaWorld Mardi Gras Celebration?
There are special festivities that take place during the celebration that do not normally take place at SeaWorld.
Pop-Up Parade
What is Mardi Gras without a parade? Well, you can see a special pop-up parade at the Wild Arctic Plaza! You’ll see entertainers, stilt walkers, musicians, and bead captains in this exciting experience. It takes place at select times during the day.
Here is a video from a past parade:
Street Party
Also, what is Mardi Gras without partying? There will be a street party at the Wild Arctic Plaza with a Bourbon Street flavor. There’s going to be a DJ, street performers, and a dance party.
Live Music
When I think of New Orleans, I think of great music. So it is only fitting in a Mardi Gras celebration that there is live music! A live band will play Cajun and jazz classics at the Wild Arctic Plaza.
Gulf Coast Flavors
And finally, when I think of New Orleans, I also think of delicious food. And there is definitely delicious food at SeaWorld Orlando’s Mardi Gras Celebration!
Because you know how I mentioned it goes on at the same time as the Seven Seas Food Festival? Well, one of the food markets at the festival is a Gulf Coast Market!
You can enjoy delicious food and drinks there that are perfect for Mardi Gras. They include:
- Cajun Shrimp & Grits
- Banana Fosters Beignets
- Key Lime Pie Margarita
- Purple Haze
Discount Tickets
So I am sure you didn’t forget that I was going to tell you about how to get a discounted ticket!
So unlike Howl-o-Scream at SeaWorld Orlando, the Mardi Gras event does not require a separate ticket. You can attend both Mardi Gras and the Seven Seas Food Festival with a regular admission ticket to SeaWorld.
And you can get this at a discount by buying your ticket here.
