It's The 2023 Mardi Gras Menu from Busch Gardens Williamsburg
The Big Easy Meets Big Thrills at the Popular Friday through Sunday Festival
It's only a month long, but there's nothing quite like hot food on a cold day. From Friday, January 27th through Sunday February 26th, 2023 — guests at Busch Gardens, Williamsburg can enjoy some great food and beverage items while letting the good times roll — (but only on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays only… plus President' Day, Monday February 20th, 2023).There's over 30 food and beverage items on this year's festival menu and the popular Mardi Gras Sampler Lanyards are back too! A 5 Item Sampler Lanyard is available for $40 (plus tax) while a 10 Item Sampler Lanyard is available for $60 (plus tax). The sampler lanyards make picking up food and beverage items so much easier, and you can save a couple bucks in the process. Sampler Lanyards can be used over multiple festival days between Jan. 27th and Feb. 26th, so you don't have to eat 10 things all in one visit!
Here's a map for the 2023 Mardi Gras food and beverage locations at Busch Gardens Williamsburg.
Most of the food and beverage locations are open from 3pm - 8pm on Fridays, and from 12pm - 6pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
