Get ready to jump into the spirit of New Orleans as the spectacular Mardi Gras event transforms the UK's favourite theme park into a vibrant, high-energy carnival. Featuring a riot of colour, world-class entertainment, and mouth-watering street food, this event is a highlight for anyone planning to book tickets for Alton Towers this season.

Unmissable Entertainment at the Alton Towers Mardi Gras

The heart of the Mardi Gras celebration lies in its immersive atmosphere. Guests can expect to be greeted by a flamboyant cast of ‘Krewes’—themed street performers representing different areas of the park. From high-energy dancers to brass bands, the live entertainment is designed to keep the energy levels high from the moment the gates open.

Each Krewe brings its own unique style and flair, culminating in the daily 'Carnival Celebration'. This show-stopping parade features incredible costumes and infectious music that encourages every guest to join the party. For those who want to visit multiple times to catch every performance, a Merlin Annual Pass offers the perfect way to enjoy the festivities all season long.

Local Flavours and Themed Treats at Alton Towers

No Mardi Gras celebration would be complete without a taste of the Deep South. Alton Towers has curated a bespoke menu specifically for the event, featuring a wide array of Cajun-inspired delights. Visitors can head to the Food Street to sample everything from spicy Gumbo and Jambalaya to traditional sugary Beignets.

Whether you are looking for a quick snack between riding the ‘Big Seven’ coasters or a sit-down feast at the front of the Towers, the park's culinary team has ensured there is something for every palate. It is a fantastic opportunity to book tickets for Alton Towers and experience a unique gastronomic tour of the Mississippi while in the heart of Staffordshire.

Seasonal Events and Your Merlin Annual Pass

Mardi Gras is just one of the many seasonal events that keep the resort fresh and exciting throughout the year. Because these events are often included in standard park entry, they provide incredible value for thrill-seekers and families alike. If you are a frequent visitor, upgrading to a Merlin Annual Pass ensures you don't miss out on upcoming spectacles like Oktoberfest or the legendary Scarefest.
