The annual Mardi Gras event is back at Busch Gardens theme park in Tampa, Florida.  It started a little over a week ago; we recently told you about the festivities and entertainment in our Busch Gardens Tampa Mardi Gras Guide.  This is a special event that is included in general park admission; you can find discounted tickets to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay here.

Now, if you haven’t visited the event yet, don’t worry.  It runs on weekends through through March 2, 2025, so there is still plenty of time to attend this special themed event.

And I think this is an event you’ll want to attend…especially when you check out the specialty menu!  Because this event is more than just a fun way to celebrate Mardi Gras – it is a lot like a food festival!

That is because there are special food and drink “cabins” set up throughout the park selling specialty food and drink menu items.  The cabins open up at 12:00 pm.  These food and drink selections all fit perfectly with the Mardi Gras theme of the event.

So what kind of food and drinks can you expect at these cabins?  Well, check out the menu for yourself below!
