Florida Mardi Gras Celebrations

If it's February, it's time for Mardi Gras in Florida and this weekend kicks off most of the celebrations. Of course, Universal Orlando's Mardi Gras has become one of the most sought after tickets in O town since it features some of the hottest musical performers in addition to a parade that is as impressive as that in N'awlins. In addition, there are several community-based Mardi Gras celebrations that feature parades with colorful floats. One thing is certain, they all seem to have one thing in common... BEADS! Lots and lots of beads!
