Mardi Gras 2022

[tony67]

Sure many of you got the email -but universal seems to be planning a normal Mardi Gras event for 2022 - Feb. 5–Apr. 24, 2022
Still not clear on what the Christmas season will be - but thought this might bode well

They list beads, concerts and parades - I wonder if they will allow folks on the floats to throw beads - sounds like it

I'll be curious who they have performing. I've seen some great concerts over the years...Heart and the B52s were probably the best.

Fingers crossed. Loved the float bead throwing so much - and the concerts.
Always a bit bummed at the concert announcement timing though: the past few years, they've released the lineup so late, I never have enough lead time to plan my trip around my favorite choices, as we need to get time off approved in advance. But it's all good...still have a nice time.

Now...fingers DOUBLY crossed that there is some kind of live music performance during the holidays....no Manheim this year is a big loss.

Fab, I was hoping it would be starting while I was there!

Agreed - I just pick my time to go and hope the band I want to see is not the week before or after

Are the concerts for this usually on Saturdays? I'm going at the very start of this and am thinking about getting an annual pass but the cheapest one has the blackout dates for concerts.

Has anyone heard any rumblings or rumors for this year yet on lineup/concert dates and or parade days? If following recent suit, I would imagine these should be released in the very near future?

 

[SusanDK]

Also really interested in this. We haven't activated our annual passes yet, waiting for the concert line-up.

Universal has not even put out their Winter UOAP Passport Pamphlet for winter/Christmas activities which are now pretty much over. Their website still offers the Fall Passport Pamphlet... I imagine we'll get the Mardi Gras info sometime in June...

Sugar ray makes sense since they did the scooby doo movie. Yeah. Never seen before and I like college music. If you seen a short girl dancing around, just smile and know I am having a great time! Lol

 

[mamapenguin]

How long do the concerts usually last?

 

[schumigirl]

I must be old....I haven`t heard of half of them!

Least I know the other half...actually I know 5 of the acts.......

I'm curious. Which are the 5 you know if you don't mind me asking?

 

[schumigirl]

No, don`t mind at all.......

I`ve just seen there are 6 I know as I missed seeing Seal`s name first time.....

Diana Ross

Barenaked Ladies

Styx

LL Cool J

Seal

Jason Derulo


I will also admit to having heard of the last one, but couldn`t name a single thing he`s done......and I remember LL Cool J as an actor.......lol......

Out of them all I`d probably only want to see Barenaked Ladies

Yes, I think that makes me quite old.......

With Jason Derulo, he says/sings his name at the start of every song he does. This way when listening to the radio, you know who is singing the song.
