Hello Kim! I assume you mean the concert after the Mardi Gras Parade? Well let me explain both. As for the parade, you just start trying to find a spot anytime you want along the parade route. Some pick a spot two hours before the parade, others the last minute.

There are handicap and annual passholder sections, as well as sections just for kids. You can find them on the parade map.

As for the concert, that is a very casual type of event. Again you just sit down and pick a spot wherever you want. How early depends on you. Some who want a front spot sit down an hour before it starts. But most the time you can just squeeze up to the front if your not shy.

So it’s first come first served. Or how pushy you are!! Have fun.

Hi there! Is there a line which forms before you enter the “venue” or do you just show up and hang out in front of the stage? I want to be up front, so I am trying to plan my day Thanks!!! Kim

Hi Natalia. I assume you mean the bands? No, they just show up on stage, then take off when they are done, sorry. I have seen people talk to the band members right after the shows if they hang around. Most of the time it’s pretty casual.

You can talk to and get your picture taken with lots of the Mardi Gras dancers and characters however. They walk around greeting people an hour or two before the parade.

Hi there Mitch. The Mardi Gras parade and concerts are all included with a regular theme park ticket or annual pass to Universal Studio Orlando theme park.

Mardi Gras is NOT an event you have to buy a special ticket for, nor are the concerts. So yes, you will be able to see them without getting a separate ticket.

Is the KC and the Sunshine concert free? If I have a universal/Island of Adventure/Citywalk pass does that get you in? Or do you have to purchase a separate ticket for the Marti Gras?

Ah ha, I went to bed before you asked this one! Yes, give or take 15 minutes or so the parade is the same time each night. Normally it’s at dusk, or around 7:00 to 7:30.

Hi Raquel, I saw this just before I was going to bed! Actually that concert, because it’s an outdoor type, is mostly people standing. There are a few chairs but most people just stand, or sit on the ground.

So yeah, if you want to sit by the front early you can be upfront. Basically you squeeze in anywhere you can. Lots of people spread out all over, you can hear the music from a long distance because of the speakers. Have fun! Going to bed now.
