About

This May and June join us in getting the summer vibes going as Mardi Gras returns to Alton Towers for 2023! This Carnival inspired takeover will dazzle you with an explosion of colours, sounds, high energy entertainment and so much more! Not forgetting that you will have the chance to ride our thrilliant world-class rollercoasters and fantabulous family faves as well as try some utterly delicious food from around the world. Don’t miss out!

Every day the Resort will be transformed into the biggest street party ever with music, street performers and colour, creating a fantabulous feel-good atmosphere.

Each themed area of the park will be represented by its very own flamboyantly dressed ‘Krewe’ with its own static parade float! Throughout the day, each Krewe will be ‘takin it to the streets’ for some high-energy live entertainment filling the streets with all the colours and energy that Mardi Gras has to offer.

There will be street food stalls offering flavours from around the world including Deep South USA inspired favourites.

Each morning, a carnival King and Queen will be chosen from amongst the guests and crowned during a lavish masquerade ceremony on Towers Street. Once anointed, the King and Queen will be treated like VIPs for the entire day!
