Universal’s Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s Pre-Parade
Bring your group to Universal Studios Florida to warm up the streets, as they march prior to our new holiday parade. This is a unique opportunity for your group, where Santa Claus is going to have his hands full as the Minions bring merry and mayhem to the parade, along with Dreamworks characters from Madagascar and Shrek.
Universal is partnering with Macy’s to bring this new parade experience to life.
