For those eager to get their spooky thrills, Universal Orlando Resort is ready to deliver as it rolls out the red carpet for its earliest Halloween Horror Nights, kicking off on August 29 and terrorizing guests through November 2. According to ClickOrlando, the event promises "terrifying haunted houses, sinister scare zones, live entertainment, exclusive merchandise and themed food at the world’s premier Halloween event."

But before you mark your calendars for frights, don't forget the upcoming extravaganza of flavors and parades at the Universal Mardi Gras, which will take place from February 1 to March 30. The festival is sure to draw big crowds, given the concert lineup that was recently released, hinting at various performances tailored for the occasion. The festivities bring a slice of New Orleans to Florida. Guests will want to seize the chance to party during this international celebration.

Adding to the mix, Universal is launching something new for the nighttime crowd with Universal Volcano Bay Nights, set to run on select nights from April 19 through May 17, offering live entertainment nesting under the star-lit skies above the water park. Details are still hazy, but expectations for another hit are high, as announced by Orlando Weekly.
