Mardi Gras Parade timing

[IronBoss]

Hi There! We haven't been to Universal in a couple years, but have the chance to go for the day on Tuesday, Match 10th - on the way to Reggae Rise Up Floriday in St Pete! I noticed the park in only open until 7 that day, but most places say the Mardi Gras Parade starts at 7 most days. Does this mean the rides, etc close & the parade runs at 7?
