Universal Studios, Orlando, hosts a Mardi Gras celebration every year from February 11th - April 14th. It's New Orleans style street party that includes concerts, street parades, food, and performers. Appearances by music legends such as Diana Ross, Cyndi Lauper, the B-52's, and K.C. & the Sunshine Band will round out the entertainment for the month along with many others.
There are also special rates for Florida residents, including hotels, so it's a good event for folks to look into. The on-site hotels offer up to 36% per night (which is huge) and with it comes early park admission to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Express Pass to all the rides (except (Rip Rocket Roller Coaster). Look for other discounts through corporate sites, AAA, military MWR, credit unions, etc. Rule Number One for the theme park industry: DON'T pay full price for anything!! Shopping is the same everywhere. Some of the best deals are very obscure.
